The top one is for the 3rd Guards Tank Army. Around the dge is a list of battle honours: Kiev, Kharkov, Orel, Tula, Lvov, Sandomir, Katowice, Prague, and Berlin.

There is a very good book on these out there I think by Schmidt?

Yes, I guess these are covered in Paul Schmitt's book:

The second badge reads 'Glory to the Soviet Tankists' and along the edge '9th Mechanized Kiev-Zhitomir Corps of the 3rd Guards Tank Army'.
