The first image - RAEC, I think - the colours, the Turks heads all fit but I don't know if the ratio of of dark blue cords to light blue is correct.

RAEC is two strands dark blue to one strand light blue. Yours might be my E8 - Lanyard. NSN 8465-99-978-8799 - Stable ply type. Four ply. Single cord, with loops at either end secured by Turks heads. Length 84cm. Diameter 0.7cm. Royal Marines. Worn by 3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron. Later 847 Naval Air Squadron. Pattern 24638A

The other lanyard looks French or US?
