The scorpion collars belong to 3rd Tank Regt, Arab Legion - see here: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ht=arab+legion

The hawks head collars belong to 2nd Armoured Car Regt Arab Legion. Their Regt'l mascot was a falcon. Commanded by Col Peter Young .

Presumably the traditional badges continued to be used by the Royal Jordanian Army after the departure of Glubb Pasha.
