I found this picture in my archive, 2 badges on left and one far right are with provenance to ww2 5th SAS (Belgian). The 3rd one is what is referred as Malayan era by SAS collectors. Not only the colour of feathers is different also details sword slightly differ e.g handle is bigger and stiching around feathers is slightly different.

From your example could you share a day light picture?
