Phil's badge looks to be a BRCS cap badge for Other Ranks. I am not sure if the one Mike shows is a cap badge or some other.

Re the first badge the BRCS had a generic badge and also many of the counties had the same badge listing the county in the scroll.

I did wonder if, due to its larger size, it was a sleeve badge.
