no ideas?

Don't quote me, but I think they're modern branch of service insignia - for collar points, maybe?

The 5-pointed Patches are for Collars
The 4-Pointed Patches are for the Arm called Losagnes de Bras
The Slip on Boards look like indochina -theater lokal made Captains ones.
red on green is transport I think
Half moon - Morocco or was it Algeria and Morocco has the Star?
light blue maybe Armor or chasseurs
Can't find my info for a 100% ID so it's only what I found in the last corner of my brain. the Captain is for sure.
