These two badges are from ISAF in Afganstan.  The ISAF badge is worn by all personnel in the Force (much like the SFOR or KFOR badges).  The tiger is the badge of KMNB (Kabul Multinational Brigade).  Irish personnel have served with ISAF since July 2002 and with KMNB since February 2003.  
Collectors must remember that there would be a number of variations and sizes to these badges because of national preference to size and shade.  Those worn by the Irish were from the same source in Kabul.
