Default Four corps badges for inspection - please

Hello gentlemen,

i have just added these four badges to my collection.
With my few experiencies i can not 100% decide if the are original or restrikes/copies.
That is what i can recognize:
No.1: Royal Armoured Corps, white metal, looks for me ok.
No.2: Tank Corps, for me a well known, so called "ring-spanner" copy.
No.3: Observer Corps, white metal, lugs with small "feet", 7,8g ?
No.4:Army Air Corps, very thin white metal, 7,3g only, lugs with yellow solder ?

Thanks in advance for any comments,
kind regards
Markus

I agree all are good badges, except the Tank Corps which is a common fake.
