These are icons from MapSym and Mil Symbols font sets that I downloaded months ago. These were the last in my sets of military symbol icons that I hadn't yet identified...but tonight I found some answers by going to the Army Heritage Collection Online website and downloading a glossary Field Manual (FM 21-30) from the 1960s.
1) SBS = Special Boat Service/Squadron
2) MOD...possibly means Ministry of Defense
3) MAR...possibly Maritime forces
4) LAND...possibly Land forces (in what context?)
5) AIR...possibly Air forces (again, in what context?)
6) LOG = Logistics
7) NCC = National/Naval/Network Command Center, or possibly Non-Combatant Corps
8) dunno
9) Heavy Unit (German)
10) & 11) Gendarmerie (Belgian and French, respectively)
12) T = Traffic regulation (British)
13) dunno
14) RGR = Royal Ghurka Rifles, or possibly Rangers
15) DPU = Deep Penetration Unit, or possibly Depleted Uranium Ammo
