I would say both are copies.

The KRRC design was worn from 1906 into the 1950s but the unpiereced crown and slider are typical of known restrikes.

The RB on lugs is not a cap badge at all and is another known copy of a pouch badge.

Just from the photographs, I would say that those two badges have never been worn, they appear to be completely spurious.

These two must be the most detailed badges in the army i suppose. Now the basis of the Rifles belt clasp.
