The first one was worn by Officers in Raiding Forces on the beret 1950s/1960s and maybe early 1970's.
The second one as previously mentioned is a war time one if cast and probably made in the Middle East and worn on the Field Service Cap
The second one was worn originally on the beret but later on forage caps too, dates from the war to the early 1970s. Made in various metals at various time, later ones in anodised aluminium.

The centre badge was used on berets and on side caps is definitely a ww2 badge of the royal greek forces. The badge is missing the cross on the top .
