Wonder if anyone knows what these badges were used for. I'm guessing they are genuine. The brass badge has a sort of paint on it.

Has the white metal one ever had lugs or a slider, and is the gilding metal one cast ?

Thank you for taking an interest. The "WM" one is actually chromed and there is no sign of lugs or slider. The GM one is nicely cast.

Thee silver coloured badge has a similar screw post arrangement to a RRF "hat badge" which is offered for sale on the regiment's PRI website.
(Which doesn't really help).
