The wings worn by the RE Para sqn are the same as everyone else's. the OP wings are not modern issue but look to be modern copy with paper backing to deceive by covering the indian-style threads.

Although I'm not knowledgeable enough to give the age of the wing in question, I agree with Pembird that it is probably Indian.
