Cdn parachute qualification wings are very difficult to date, especially those attributed to wartime. The reference is helpful, but one can go nuts trying to conclusively id the patterns, even with the images.
As indicated above, all the wings in the images are post war, . The pattern with the mesh backing and scalloped edge were the last issue, sometime in the early 60's. On the other side of the question, there are no "phoney" wings other than the Patch King types that are on the market.
The shoulder title is okay.
