Hi Ken...your second badge is indeed French...this is the 22 ème Bataillon de Tirailleurs Algériens (RTA) en Extréme-Orient. (22dn Battalion of Algerians Riflemens in the Far-East.) in this case far-east was French Indochina...
This unit was in Indochina from 1949 to 1955.......
All Indochina period badges are very desirable....in France.....this badge is worth about 50 to70 Euros.
Hoping this will help.
Jo
