Steve, after looking at this and comparing it to Joyce's JUMP WINGS I can't say for sure. It has some distinctive characteristics that don't exactly match any of the imaged wings.

Very interesting, it looks like a type 2 badge but has blue backing, I have one similar. I would say 1945 to 1950

I wouldn't necessarily attribute the blue backing to assume RCAF use, I spoke to Ken Joyce about this blue backing and he stated it may even be that the black backing has faded.

Default 1 CANPARA blue background

Here is my blue background wing, the construction is not the same as the one you have.
