I'm trying to learn a bit more about mid-late 50's AG44 uniforms, are these smaller SP5 insignias of a early pattern, or are they for womens uniforms?. I have a 55 contract dated jacket and a 59 that have SP5 and 4 ranks respectively but they are the larger sized patch.

Those are the 1955 pattern Specialist 2nd Class ranks worn up to 1962 when the new specialist ranks were introduced. The 1955 stripes continued to be worn by females into the 1970's, thus you do see merrowed versions of them floating around.
