Here are some examples. The 5 Airborne Brigade Pathfinder Platoon was for some time 'unestablished' and run using manpower and equipment borrowed from Brigade units. The first example is locally made while the second and third are machine woven. The black arrow version is described as subdued and is obviously more tactically sound. It is unlikely that DZ flashes sewn on smocks were changed from day to night!
