Re: some unknown German badges
Maybe the collar badges are Schutzpolizei?

Re: some unknown German badges
Schutzpolizei could be.
BGS did not have the silver frame around

Re: some unknown German badges
Thanks for the links. After further comparison, the construction seems identical to Schutzpolizei, although the colour of my pair seems darker green.

Re: some unknown German badges
Sorry I'm late to the party
As already sorted out, not BGS. The Gefreiter rank chevron is not worn by any post-WW2 service uniform. It was one of many traditional badges that was deliberately discontinued after 1945. The collar badges are similar to early Berlin Polizei, but if they came with the Gefreiter and other badge then probably they're also WW2 type (authentic or not, I can't say).
