Default British Badge ID help

Hello chaps, its been a long time since i interacted on here with work picking up etc etc my collecting slowed significantly. But, with New Zealand in full lockdown i now have a little time up my sleeve and am going through some of my collection.
I recently purchased a lot of badges here (only wanting two from the lot), consisting mainly of British badges of which I have ZERO knowledge and no intent to keep them.
I have spent a bit of time trying to look them all up and see what they are so i can list them but have realized I need more than a little time on each one to be sure they are real and what era they are etc. Im hoping some of you may have a little time up your sleeve that you can help me out and let me know what they are...
Mods, hopefully this is allowed ? if not please delete

The Gordon Highlanders and Cameron Highlanders badges were worn Victorian times to the adoption of AA badges in the 1950s.

The Artists Rifles pattern was worn WW1 and after but the exact dates are still unclear. That design of Manchester Regt badge was worn until 1923. The 19th London and 23rd London badges date 1908 to 1938. The 19th converting to RE in ‘35 if memory serves.

The slidered RWK, Border, Middx, Duke of Cornwall LI, Ox & Bucks LI could date pre-WW1 to post WW2 as the designs were unchanged during that time. The Lincolnshire became Royal just after WW2 so the badge predates 1947.

I’m away from my books at the moment so if I’m wrong with dates I’m sure someone will correct me.

Also I’ve dropped you a PM about the Artists Rifles.

That is a very strange looking Cameron badge.... I must say the entire lot is in such a filthy state as making a determination as to originality difficult, but most seem good.

I appreciate the info Luke ! it gives me something to work with looking these up. Noted on the Camerons being odd..... Ive gone and done a 'google search' and come up with another that looks the same.....

Paul, yes I believe it’s just a makers variation. St. Andy is tying to look the correct way, he’s just a bit of a mess! The wire loops on these ones I like and are seen on a few other Scottish badges.

I’d be in no doubt all the badges pictured are genuine.

I noted the loops (lugs) on the Cameron and I like those type as well. They certainly are have not been faked to my knowledge.
The badge itself is one I am not familiar with, at least my ageing mind does not recognize it
Am rather fond of the Camerons and would like to acquire such an example if genuine.
