Default Canadian para wings

A gift from a Canadian friend, though I am not sure as to the date of them, though they match most closely the type one in the thread on them, but not a perfect match and I assume more modern types are similar. The backing fabric is greener in the hand than the scan shows

Thanks for any help.

The backing fabric is a black cotton?

With that black backing material on the reverse of your Canadian paratrooper wings they look like post war wings worn from about 1957 through 1971.

The friend who gave them to me thought they were late 40's 50's but no problem either way, a nice gift.
