Infantry badges
I am having trouble identifying these 3 regiments, any help appreciated, the first two are in Far East late 1950s/early 1960s, the last looks a bit like East Lancs but rose doesn’t look quite right, inter war years, any identifications much appreciated, thanks

The first photo 4th/7th Dragoon Guards? Second photo - 14th/20th Hussars? The fourth photo is DCLI.

Mercian Brigade for comparison (Photo 2)
Although I cannot identify the lanyard as being Cheshires, Worcesters, Staffords or Sherwood Foresters? Tim

I would expect photos 1 and 2 are of staff officers in HQ 48 Gurkha Infantry Brigade based in Hong Kong.
This the formations sign. Tim

Thankyou very much to all who took the trouble to reply, ashamed of myself for not recognising the DCLI, I had assumed the Mercian and East Anglian Brigades too but could not square the 2-colour lanyards for either hence my confusion, seems I wasn’t the only one, thanks again everyone
