2 Is the Order of National Achievement of Malawi, an attractive looking and well made order.

The others Look South American and of particularly unattractive and badly made quality a bit like what a six year old would come up with if asked to design orders and decorations.

Thank you Paul!

First image pieces, neck badge on left and top row last piece gross appearance similar to republican Rwandan Order of Peace badges [originally made in Belgium by Fisch?]. Lowest row, seem to have English language 'mottos'.

On Paul's correct identification of the second image---Zambian authorities claim that Cleave designed the new award system and made the insignia.

None are Latin American, but all seem to have the vaguely British style with straight-bar suspenders and English mottoes. I'd look in Sub-Saharan Africa at former British colonies.

I tend to agree with Jeff, that the inspiration - if that's the right word! - for these is British, so almost certainly ex colonies and sub-Saharan Africa seems a good bet. The eagle [?] shouldn't be too hard to pin down.
