Thanks Alan, really interesting.

On the 3rd row of page 6 there are two shots of a Guards Armoured Division REME soldier with a Sten gun, what is the little cross badge on his beret next to his cap badge?

The badge looks like a pair of crossed gun barrels, worn upside down. I can't remember if such devices featured on some German artillery shoulder boards, they did on some naval insignia but I suspect of different sizes to this badge. Perhaps souvenired from American troops?
It's possible to add suggestions as to identification of units and individuals to these Nijmegen archive photos, there are some interesting insignia shown on some men.
