I don't think you well be surprised to know that VI in the first image (badge 7) is a bad one - far too neat and tidy - never machine manufactured. Featherstonhaugh CO of 6 Cdo (sometimes VI) ordered his men to make them themselves. The others look promising to me.

There are so many variations of the tombstones - I have an idea that a thread discussing post war reintroduction illustrated a similar example on here - with white thread showing at reverse. Someone may recall the particular thread better than me.
From what I can make out I would think they are postwar, but may be right, subject to further observations.
Mike
