Default East Yorks Collar Badges or Rank Insignia ??

Are these East Yorkshire Regiment collar badges (which is how they were described when I bought them) or are they some kind of rank or qualification badge.

Many thanks in advance

Question East Yorks collars?

All the illustrations in Colin Churchill's book show the badge with rays on the star points, as to whether these badge were a trial pattern or something else I would love to learn.

The eight pointed star with central rose was worn above 4 inverted chevrons by the RQMS until 1915 when the WO2 Rank was introduced.
