They look well made for cast badges so they could be wartime. The problem with cast badges though is that unless they have a maker's mark they are very difficult to attribute to any particular time.

I would be interested in the South Staffordshire badge if you are moving it on.

There were very few 'theatre made' badges in the 1stWW but loads made in India, Egypt and Italy during the 2nd.
Determinig where they came from is difficult but they are nice TM badges
