100 year old Photos #9 - Switzerland

Again c1910 perhaps c1920 - not sure - I 'think' these photos may be on the Swiss border. My only reasoning is that the 3rd photo when enlarged appears to show what is a red cross on a white flag at what appears to be a border crossing. If you can shed any light - again I would be grateful. Thank-you and enjoy.
The photo below - is a border crossing. In the background I believe is the Matterhorn, which is on Swiss soil.
