Hi Tim,
hope you're well. The first one is a WWII Civilian Protection Services cap or collar badge depending on size. The cap is 46mm to tip of crown. Similar to ARP or Homeguard. The other is a Union Defence Force General service cap or collar depending on size. There were quite a few variations but if you give it a size we can narrow it down for you. regards, Iain

Thanks. The CPS / BBD is 46mm so a cap badge. The UDF GS is 33mm in diameter. Tim
