There’s not generally any difference in the metal rank stars (pips) and crowns used between the two wars, no.  There was however, greater variety and usage of cloth equivalents during WW2 than WW1.

The T usually refers to Territorial and indicates that the wearer has a commission in the Territorial Force.  When cuff rank was worn the T was placed underneath collar badges.
