I would suggest that the second badge (London County Council), is probably a factory reject. The issued item would have been enamelled with the appropriate colours.

Default Flaming Grenade

I would like to suggest use of a scale in pictures (this poor Canadian lad ain't familiar with British coinage )

I will hazard a guess that the flaming grenade is an early example of a U.S. Army officer's collar badge for the Ordnance Corps.

Hi,

First badge is US ARMY Ordnance Corps collar badge. Late 40's through 60's when the screw post fell from favour and replaced by spike fittings.
