Hello Jack,
Looks original to me but it's not a specifically Rhodesian pattern. That doesn't mean to say the attribution is necessarily incorrect though. British pattern wings have been worn by members of the Rhodesian Security Forces. Former parachute trained members of the British Army , who later joined the Rhodesian Army, wore their British wings on their uniform if their new role didn't require them to have parachute capability and attend the Rhodesian course. I think I have some examples somewhere.
Cheers,
Graham
