Default RAAF Pilot Wings

I found these RAAF pilot wings several years ago at an antique fair here in England.
They are KC (padded) with a brown wreath but I thought RAAF wings had a light blue wreath?
Perhaps they are British made (WW2) following the RAF pattern with a brown wreath?
(Not sure what the blue/grey mark is on one wing, possibly an ink stain).
They appear to have been worn, hope they are genuine!
Any info much appreciated.

Yes, going by the construction I'd say they were genuine period wings. British style and British made, the wreath in brown in error. Let me know if you want to pass them on!
