Is the first one the right length for a bugle chord?

It looks it - I had one similar on one of those "replica" army bugles somebody gave me and which found its way to the council tip, but that doesn't mean the one shown is a bad one, I just can't think of a unit that would have worn red and yellow ones.

I may be wrong and someone knows better than me but, the 35cm gold cord looks like a chin strap for a hat, the 2 knots sliding to adjust the length

Agree with Magpie, think it is for a cap of some description.
