I think the reason you've had no response here is because they don't look German mostly.
The far left one with the anchor does not look like any German cockade I have seen (naval or otherwise). Naval cockades did not have anchors on them.
The second left could be JzP 13, or a Prussian officer from any regiment if the centre blue was black instead.
The centre cockade has no colour and doesn't look German either.
The fourth cockade I think is where the clues begin... that pale blue. Could it be Finnish or Estonian?
The fifth one does not look German either.
With the predominant colours in them being Pale Blue, Black and White and with them being found in the Baltics, my guess would be that they're all (or mostly) Estonian army and navy from the 1920s or 30s but I have to admit I'm no expert on Baltic armies. Perhaps try the same post here- http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/estonian-army-1918-1940/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hope they can help more,
Cheers
