Default Warrant officer badges

Good afternoon,

I need your expertise to identify these 2 badges

Could you confirm too the identity of the crowns with numbers 8455999741140 & 8455999738907 ?

Thank you

Laurent

As neither of those numbers match the badges, is there a reason why?

So presumably the wrong numbers are on the backs of the badges or he has read them wrong?

I would identify the illustrated badges as follows:

Bullion crown in wreath on a white ground - depending on date is WO2 (RQMS) 13/18 Hussars, 17/21 Lancers Prince of Wales’s Own Regiment of Yorkshire, Gurkha Transport Regiment and Royal Corps of Transport.

Black crown on scarlet - again depending on date is Junior Leaders, 2nd Gurkha Rifles and more recently the Gurkha Band of the Royal Gurkha Rifles.

The RQMS rank badge with white background was also worn in the Queens Royal Lancers. The front cover of the Regiment magazine to the QRL shows the badge clearly.
