Hi Scott,
I have to say I think you have three very nice LW Badges there!
Re the Juncker "Pilot", to me the eagle looks silvered and the catchplate and outer hinge segments appear to have a gold finish. It's possible that this may actually be a Pilot-Observer with faded finish. I may be wrong, as I haven't researched the finish on late war Juncker badges in detail, maybe a silver looking eagle was standard for their late Pilot's Badges.
The JMME appears interesting - is that an early eagle (?nickel-silver) on a zinc wreath?
Your Juncker Para is worn, isn't it! I think the guy must have landed on it each and every drop he made! I'd suggest the eagle has also been re-attached at some stage. I'd call this a true "chraracter" badge!
Regards
