The wings shown on the left looks to be a modern and not very accurate copy of the SAS wings issued in WWII. The wings on the right appear to be the standard SAS wings issued from the late 1970s onwards.
When you say “SBS wings” please be aware that the Army Commando Special Boat Section wore standard parachute wings in WWII. The part of that unit absorbed by the SAS into what became the Special Boat Squadron in WWII were issued SAS wings.
The more modern Special Boat Service (largely Royal Marines) wear their own new wings which resemble the SAS wings but were deliberately shaped to resemble a canoe. They are subdued for combat dress and in silver and gold for Lovat dress and blues, so not blue and white.
