Default Padded pilot's wings

Would anyone care to comment on the vintage of these wings I found today? They clearly have been removed from a uniform and are quite heavily padded.

I would suggest they are private purchase 1940s (with Kings Crown pre 1953)

Thanks for the confirmations guys. I seldom find wings on the loose so my experience with them is quite limited.
