Default Canadian para wing differs from various numbered types

I picked this Canadian paratrooper wing up as it seemed to differ slightly (another variant?) from the various numbered types posted in other threads. It has only 7 shroud lines while all of the others except for one have 8 shroud lines. The one exception with 7 shroud lines (Type 6) is the British made wing with thicker shroud lines and a Kelly green background color while all of the other wings have a very dark green color that is almost black with 8 shroud lines. This para wing is slightly padded and my guess maybe a private purchase piece but is it post war or WW2?
