Can You Help? First Aid Badges on CD/ARP Uniforms

Numerous period photographs show members of the Civil Defence wearing first aid badges on the right-hand pocket of their overalls, battledress or tunic. Two particular badges are commonly seen.

Firstly, there are the St. John Ambulance Association and St. John Ambulance Brigade badges. To clarify, if you were a member of the St. John Brigade and the Civil Defence General Services, you would wear the Brigade badge; if you had been trained by the St. John Ambulance Brigade, but were not a member, you could wear the Association badge. 

There are rare woven-style St. John Ambulance Brigade (see image) but the majority of St. John Ambulance Association appear to be embroidered; and there appears to be size variations.

Secondly, there is the Royal Life Saving Society's Respiration Service badge. There also appears to be two sizes of this badge. It should be noted that an identical woven badge was issued post war.

I'm now interested in other first aid badges worn on the right pocket of tunics and battledress. A few examples are seen in photographs:
