Are these Polish Falcons?

These 2 pins are similar, but I notice the Crowns on the bird's heads are different. Why is that? I assume they are either Polish or Russian. Any ideas? Thanks!

Spanish

Auseklis is correct, SPANISH. I'm sure one (left) is earlier than the other (right), but I'm not sure exact time period of either...(ones probably fairly early "Franco", the other is probably "Post Franco"...

Any ideas where they were worn? Hat? Tunic? Thanks!

As you have been told, they are Spanish. This eagle with the cross is the emblem of the Spanish Army.

Actually, it is just the opposite. The one on the left is later than the one on the right. The one on the right is from Franco's period, while the left one is post-Franco, as can be seen from the royal crown:

Steel Helmet

Not just helmets, but headgear in general.
