- On Hiatus. Really. Or Not.
At least two of these...
... are DUIs (or DI) which stands for "Distinctive Unit Insginia." I am not sure what the one on the left is... could be German. For starters, see: "Silver Wings, Pinks, and Greens," (Jon Maguire), p. 46. The one on the far right is for a AAF bomb group, but the exact one escapes me right now. See this thread...

The one on the left has the inscription TE KAAHU MATAARA, which sounds Polynesian to me, maybe a samoan or maori unit but google comes up with nothing, and the eagle seems an odd juxtaposition.

Mataara is apparently Maori for something like 'respect', so contacting one of the Kiwi military history experts would be a good start.
