Default French Para Brevet WW2

Here is a brevet I have had for a number of years within my French collection. I have alternately seen this referred to as WW2 d' Infanterie de l' Air as well as the 1st RCP. 1st Regiment Chasseur Parachutist. This may be a distinction without difference but I am unsure.

In addition to possible wear in WW2 it is also seen worn post war. I would like to think this is a WW2 piece but would be curious to what others may know or say as to it's period of wear.

Thanks
Jack
