Hi dobw,
You are off to a good start. The printed titles you have are authentic. And, if you really wanted to have titles representative of wartime, the printed would be the route to go. (But, they can get expensive.)
Determining a wartime embroidered title is a task. The things to look for include the fabric, the style of letter, and colour of the embroidery thread, the backing material, dimensions of the title and other things depending on the unit in question. For example you Chaud title has a backing material that was not available until the post war, and the same with the QOR title.
Wartime embroidered titles usually have a tight weave black, cream or buff backing material.
