The Somerset shoulder title is fine, the white metal Light Infantry (top left) is a privately purchased PRI type badge - probably 1990s vintage
The others don’t look good to me I’m afraid

Top right blackened badge rose over bugle horn is 6th King’s Liverpool (Liverpool Rifles) worn 1908 until 1938. However, it was also worn well into the 1970s by Merchant Taylor’s School Crosby Combined Cadet Force so potentially made anytime between 1908 and 1972!

The LI badge - could be the bronzed badge introduced for NI wear?
