Default Reproduction wings

The Nanton Bomber Command air museum in Nanton, Alberta is selling these reproduction wings, unfortunately I could not see the backing.

Some of these are also being sold by the Canada Aviation & Space Museum in Ottawa, although not with the curl on them.

The crowns are certainly odd on these reproductions.

I have seen those exact same examples at the "royal aviation museum of western Canada"
It is good they are making them slightly different, so there is little risk of knowledgeable people mistaking them as original.

I should not be at all concerned, those certainly will not fool anyone.
