The three square badges are rank pips, which would have been on shoulder boards originaly. The eagle badge is a cap badge which, as Jussi pointed out, has had the wings broken off. The wings are key to determine if it was an SS cap device, so it is impossible to tell. The rank pips were worn across all the services, so it is not possible to pin these down as specific to any service.
