Post #6 may be 6eme Moroccan Tirailleur (apologies for the atrocious spelling), but I cannot say from which era it dates.
(Interesting to note the ‘ghost’ of a previously incised maker’s mark, later modified to a raised mark).

The badge that looks like the one below is a Heer Motor Transport Personnel Trade Badge.
S should be Schirrmeister
F should be Feuerwerker

All of these are wings for the Italian Paracadutisti. The top two are in the pattern that seem to have been used for decades. I saw a pair of wings on a 1970s dress uniform and it is seen on the dress uniforms of those currently serving. The bottom one is the cap badge that is pinned to the beret. Many have a circle superimposed over the sword that contains a number denoting the wearer’s regiment.

I believe the first five are also SAS wings while as you mentioned the other four are Bundeswehr wings. The top SAS pair of wings looks to be the newest. The last one looks like the downswept version from the 60s. Three buillion pairs. Gold bullion for officers and silver bullion for other ranks.
