Default Two unidentified badges

Hi all

Can anybody shed any light on these?

Last two for the day I promise, haven't taken a decent batch of photographs yet so apologies that I'm adding these one or two at a time.

Many thanks
Kev

Hi Kev

I believe the first is from Oman. The second is a French parachutist's beret badge.
