Default Border regiment airborne glider cloth shoulder title

A recent ebay sales. Described as an original 1st Border Regiment airborne glider cloth shoulder title badge from WW2.

Can it be confirmed that this description is accurate?

Hi Luc,

I believe your title is post WW2.

Attached is a war-time title for comparison.

I thought the wartime version did not have wording showing on the reverse.

Yes Jerry along with the different font, that's also a sign of a post war title.

Thanks guys, I too thought it was common knowledge that the title in #1 was of post-war manufacture. I don't understand how the seller, who is an experienced SF collector and dealer, can make such a mistake.
