Question Norfolk Yeomanry badges

I have several post 1952 Norfolk Yeomanry badges which I wonder whether anyone can help me with.

Badge 1 is a frosted finish with loops

Badge 2 is a gold gilt finish with loops

Badge 3 is a G/M with loops

Badge 4 is a G/m with slider

Badge 5 is a G/m with slider

Badges 1 and 2 I think are officers beret badges and 3 and 4 are for other ranks.

Badge 5 is something of a mystery as it does not follow the same dimensions and I have always thought that this may have been concocted from a similar badge such as a Provost Corps with the title removed.

Your thoughts much appreciated . . !

Rob

Tricky badge this, I have not yet found a photo of it being worn by the Norfolk yeomanry.
There are photos of the depot staff at the royal Norfolk Regt depot wearing it.
The last one is something like parks/grounds etc

There is a sealed pattern to the Norfolk yeomanry. But that is as far as it got, I think.

It was worn Ive seen and I think I have somewhere pictures of it being worn. I’ll have to fish them out.

The gilt lugged badges could have been ADC as well.

Smile Norfolk Yeo.

After further enquiries to an old collector of Yeomanry badges his verdict is:-

Badge 3 is an officers gold gilt
Badge 4 is an O/R's cap/beret badge

Other badges unknown to him.
