Hope you will excuse me for adding to a old post but to answer, Maybe not:
The green uniform maybe an after WW2 one : The types of different buttons is odd as there is gold, silver (flat so definitely post war) and also air force one at the shoulder.
It maybe some uniform a veteran would have wear after the war (veterans are not collectors and as such do not care what a collector think it should be right).
It is also quite well known that FFL paras used to wear a lot of badges on their uniform and sometime, also on their berets, especially when they went for the maroon one. Obviously, regulation (if any proper one about how to wear badges) was not their strong point to say the least.
The blue uniform is quite convincing as a late war.
FFL para belonged to the air force up to 1945 when they became Army (hence the possibility of a real veteran who would have kept is shoulder AF buttons).
For sure the AF para qualification badge is definitely not WW.
So the question is more are the badges good ones?
