Are these for a BX, they look right, not sure on the sizes?

Looks right to me - these badges were fitted to many Citroen models from the late 70's through to the 90's.

May be worth checking what it's made of as some are pressed aluminium, although it looks too thick for that.

The badges of this typographic style were used predominently between 1985 and 1992/3 on the BX, AX, CX, LNA, late GSA, Visa (incl. vans until well into the 2000's AFAIK), and were all of a standard size...

That be plastic. And quite pricey IMHO
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Don't the metal ones have a small pair of chevrons on the end of them? as fitted to the Mk1.

All Mk1 and very early Mk2 had the metal badges I think with as you say the small double chevron aswell.
