Default Four badges from the odds and sods box. Any good

These four were in the box of odds I have. Assume they are repro but just making sure if members can help.
Large DevonYeo arm badge. Looks newly made?
Smaller cap badge version. Has been silver or chrome plated at some time as the lugs are the same colour.
Strange Manchester 7th Bn collar, but not in Westlake?
Warwick Yeo, cast, with new type pin attachment.Army or scouts?
Cheers
John

I believe the Warwickshire one is a police collar badge.

Thanks Hoot. Will put on my police card.
Most interested in this collar badge. Is it a fantasy item or genuine.

The smaller plated lion over crown badge could relate to the War Department Constabulary and worn in facing pairs on the collar or shoulder straps.

I have several examples of these badges in white metal, chrome and nickel plated.

According to Churchill's a florenated fleur-de-lys worn 4th VB Manchester Rgt in white metal, by officers in bronze also worn by 7th Battalion for officers in bronze and silver, WO's in gilt also found blackened doesn't seem to mention other ranks.
