I dont like them...
First one could possibly be a block hinged unmarked zinc badge attributed to Steinhauer & Luck. I have seen one almost identical to this recently, but it had a hollow rivet which I was told meant it was probably post war production, but the one above is solid. Better wait for Adrian or Martin on this one.
The second one is ....., rather "unique" shall we say.

oke big ned ,we will see
thanks in advance !
the first one is a 2 part medall ...
the second one is described on page 903
at the niemann cataloge and is nown as French manufaturer baqueville...
I like the 1st one,2nd needs closer clear pics to be sure.
Baqueville awards are highly contentious, I think Adrian knows a bit about these from a thread he answered along time back IIRC. Personally I believe they were made for the souvenir market for the liberating allies similar to some of the awards and daggers that started cropping up in Germany at wars end/post war for occupying troops, but that's just my opinion.
