Zorgon, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
The best I can tell you is the berets are original anyways. Both the 1 Can Para badges are reproductions. On the officers badge, the parachute and the scroll are silver but it's 2 pieces, never 1 and the wings and maple leafs are brass. The sliders are also a bit of a giveaway.
I can't speak to the Canadian Airborne badge as it may be one of the later ones made but the quality seems a little weak compared to the early badges with the parachute overlay looking overly thick.
