Unknown Eagle Badges

I really could use some help with these. The one with the cross has an Italian look about the design whilst other a Polish one.

Any information would be helpful.

Thank you

The first one could be Spanish, I have a button with a similar design of a cross on an eagle.

Yes the first one is Spanish, for berets (caps wore a smaller one, and visor caps an embroidered eagle) Used from 1975 (when Juan Carlos I became King) to 1981 (in that year metallic beret badges changed to cloth patches)
