Default Parachute Regiment Titles (weird)

Hi all,

Just seen those parachute regiment titles that are listed as originals.
They seem quite off from my perspective. The blue typo is not the navy dark one and the back what I can I say, looks like those Paki thread reproductions.
The letters are not really aligned. Maybe hand made ?

Would like to have your more experimented opinions on that matter.

Cheers.

Fakes originating, as you suspect, from the Sub Continent.
