I believe the pink board with the #15 is the Dragoner Rgt. Nr.15.
The captain's board with the two pips is from the Inf.Rgt.98.
The one with the large flaming bomb appears to have blue Bavarian flecking (darts, threads in the silver cord). If that is so, then it is a put- together board. There was a Garde field artillery unit with a blue underlay and single flaming bomb, but it would have had Prussian black threads.
The banjo board is that of a Prussian government official. I'm not sure which branch.
The "96" boards are privately made and may be from a child's tunic. They appear to be very short.

Thanks Chip The flaming bomb underlay appears to be faded green, the silver bullion has green going thru it, would that be a branch or state colour?

The green backing with the green darts indicate a Saxon board from a Jäger battalion. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of another Saxon unit that would have had a green backing. That makes the bomb insignia incorrect for this board. Additionally, I think the bomb insignia is too large for such a board and is more likely the type used on an epaulette.
