What era are these military items

My son found these in a little tin box at the same estate sale that I got the bayonet. Does anyone know what era they're from? The buckle is stamped "England" Thanks.. Rich.

It looks to me like you have a mix of things. The corp stripes are pre WW2 to late 40's. The shoulder boards I do not believe to be Navy since the Navy uses a star and not an anchor. I believe they may be merchant marine. The ribbons without seeing the backs are hard to date and could be WW2 to modern. The buckle could be a WW2 English made buckle for a uniform jacket or coat or not. The buttons look like a mix of civilian and military.

The shoulder boards are interesting and should be researched more.

I think the fouled anchor shoulder boards may be generic, I see them listed in several stores on line.
