First IAB looks like a 4 stemmed SH.u.Co from where i am sitting.
Second badge is a Fake IMO, although a new discovery to find the so called ÜÜ reverse set up on this type of badge.

Don´t throw away your fake WB´s! Get in touch with me.
I collect them for reference purposes for the benefit of the hobby (for the right "fake" price of course).
I also agree with Hans that the second IAB is a fake.......even though it has the similar hinge and catch as the so called Wernstein the hinge and catch still dont match an original "Wernstein" hinge and catch.
The bronze is a well known fake, you can find a couple versions of this one in the Fake IAB thread in the fakes section. Although like Hans said this is the first time I have seen it with the attempted UU hardware. Thank goodness they have not gotten that right but the obverse design is certainly a give away. Couple that with the base metal and hardware and its a lock.
The silver like Hans mentioned looks to be an unmarked 4 stem SHuCo.
