I would be interested in people's thoughts on these.

A nice example of a GM slidered other ranks R1DY. I have a couple like it.

No idea I’m afraid about the smaller badge.

I have bought another bladed example, seems to be from the same dies but this one has a little more voiding between the legs and in the tail.

Voiding is identical to the three early Wm examples I’ve seen, so perhaps it was made around the same time or shortly after.
