Mystery buttons

[AfrikaKorps64]

Hello all,
A couple of unidentified buttons here with over a Century between them. The first is a small 14mm Victorian Jennens gilt brass example with a difficult to read cypher. I've attached the best images possible but this was very hard to photograph clearly. The second is a fairly modern QE2 Staybrite again difficult to photograph but has a winged Caduceus so some medical connection, with the initials R.A.eC.? It's obviously neither Royal Army Educational Corps or Royal Army Medical Corps.
Any information would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you,
Aidan
