WW2 Royal Navy Paratrooper Wing

[Tonomachi]

I just saw this being sold out of the UK. It is described as a WW2 era red woven on dark blue Royal Navy issue parachute qualification wing. I have never come across anything like this before and was wondering what others thought of its authenticity.

The wings feature on this site - https://www.rmhistorical.com/
Under Parachutist heading and appear to be post-war.

Royal Marine Routine Orders (RMRO) and Admiralty Fleet Orders (AFO) relate as follows:

RMRO 166/1948 - 22/3/1948
AFO 1422/1953 - 15/5/1953
RMRO 88/1951 - 1/3/1951

Vocabulary No: 32975
Drill No.3 Dress, Light Blue Shirt, No.8 and 10A Dress

Hoping this helps

Thanks for everyone's input. I took a screen shot of this wing and it may be the same unit wing but from a side by side comparison they look like they were made in two different eras and are not the same wing.
