Thanks for those views. The dealer described them as a reproduction of a WWII wing but I thought they looked very similar to some wings I saw on an authenticated 21 SAS battledress top from the 1960s, so took a chance - no great money spent. Maybe copied from a similar wing....?

These were sold recently on ebay by JDR for £27.25. Title said original while the description said reproduction which matches the BIN price.
