Default Dating Airborne Cloth Badges

Hello,

I’ve these airborne patches in possession since the 1980s but have no idea of their age. Can these be pinned down date-wise?

Cheers!

The 3 badges are not WW2, just reproductions.

The wings are actually issue but post war (circa 1970s) - so not reproduction.
