Not a fantasy Regiment. Just fantasy* badges. No Canadian SAS insignia was worn or produced.
*Some cloth badges in blue but of your first pattern where reported to be produced for a major Company reunion, (Silver anniversary, springs to mind) but they where just keepsakes.

The Canadian SAS Company formed in 1947 at the CJATC at Rivers, Manitoba. 3 Platoons with a 4th Services platoon added in 1948. They had only 2 deployments in their short history. Op Canon an Arctic Rescue in 47 and Flood rescue in Lower Fraser Valley BC in 48. The experiment was wound up as the Company was too small and the Government had decided on a much larger formation. The SAS Coy was disbanded in Sept 1949.
