I have no information about these two small brooches/pins, and I have found no pictures of Queen Mary wearing them.
The brooches/badges/pins depicting the Prince of Wales feathers were very popular in the Royal Family.
Here is one presented to Queen Victoria by her beloved Prince Albert in 1842, to celebrate the birth of their first son, Albert, titled Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII):

A gold brooch in the form of Prince of Wales feathers enamelled white, base set with pearls emeralds and rubies, below the whole is a ribbon with 'ICH DIEN' in gold. Engraved.
Given to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert on February 10 1842, to mark the occasion of the Prince of Wales's birth, which had taken place on November 9 1841.
