WWII French Medals - Are these official?

I found these medals online years ago, and saved the pictures. I was working the other day on going through the list of France's awards and decorations, and didn't find these listed. Are these official? Provincial? Or what? Also would love to learn the actual name of each of these awards, if anyone knows.

 

Thanks for any thoughts!

Those are commemorative medals and not officially issued for the uniform. You will find that the Belgians and the French have a whole range of commemorative medals made for both private purchase and for wartime service issued by veterans' organizations.
