The first one looks like Reich Protection Police.The one in the middle looks like an NCO foot Soldier 1 The last one might be an infantry supply I am not sure on any of these. Just a quick research job

Hi Paul,
Left to right - Police NCO, Heer NCO, and 15th Co. enlisted man(the colors don't work the way they do on shoulder boards. ie - blue isn't for transport, red isn't for artillery, etc.).

I'm sorry if this muddies the waters at all, but I was always under the impression that a fire protection police portepee or troddel looked like the attached.

At some point in the war years the old fire knots were discontinued and the Police knots were then used by both Police and Fire Police. In many cases the old knots continued in wear and the old stocks were used up before switching over to the new knots. Many pieces were brought back with the old knots attached as many pieces were not worn during the war years and just put away and then turned in at war's end.
