Help with two more badges

Hi, I would be grateful for any help identifying both these cloth badges. I have not been able to find any similar ones on the internet. I have seen images of the triangular shaped badge with a red inner triangle but not a yellow one.

Many thanks
Phil

That's the closest thing to your badge, that I've found ;

French National Gendarmerie old insignia

Thanks that's very interesting. I just assumed it would be a type of military badge and didn't think to look for police insignia. Any thoughts on the other badge? I thought it might be a divisional patch of some kind?

Thanks
Phil
