Hi Padre,

The front appears to be similar to mine (or wreath appears to be a bit worn). The S certainly looks the same, even has the little flat spot in the lower curve.
Though, yes, the back is another thing. You can make out the S indentation on my, though it is hard to capture in a photo.

Going by your thoughts, these ‘unofficial/converted’ metal S wings could have started to appear sometime in 1945?
Yes could have, though I think it is more likely to be have after 1945

Quote:
The RAAF also introduced the ‘S’ wing in 1944, the title being ‘Wireless operator (Air)’ as well.
Yes, sorry you are correct. That was my error.

More research needed I think.

Cheers
