Afternoon Brett,
Certainly from the photograph, at least, the first two appear untouched for a considerable amount of time and are as worn by Cooke.

I've not heard of these auctioneers before but they have some medals in their auction next week.

QSA (2) TH RoL (2531 Tpr J. Hutcheson.Natal Police)
Natal 1906 (1) (Pte. J. Hutcheson.Natal Rangers)
BWM and Victory (2ND C/WO.J.Hutcheson.S.A.H.A.)

No other information provided.

In the photograph, the Victory Medal is noted as being rare!

It's bilingual so it must be rare.....

Nice group though - I might just have a flutter.... although one never knows whether or not there is a 1914/15 Star lying in a box somewhere.
