The one on the left is a generic 'I'm Scottish' badge. I might be wrong, but I don't think that they make them any more. Manufacturers tend to focus on individual Clan Crest Badges rather than the generic. The central motif can still be found on modern day sporrans. The amount of wear shows age and usage. Some cloth has certainly been rubbing against it for many years. It might very well originate from the 'between the wars' era.
The one on the right is quite distinctively by Miracle. They are a Birmingham (England) based company and have been making jewellery since 1946.

The thing is, they have always done short runs. So yours might be only one of less than 500 world wide. I have a couple of their 'celtic' style broaches, that I am quite pleased with.
For anybody else interested, they do come up on eBay regularly
Good finds - I particularly like the lion. It shows that it has been a favourite for many years.
Regards
Chas
