Default Free French Navy insignia - Repro likely

Hi there,

I recently acquired a whole lot of free french navy related items, from someone stopping collecting this thema. All the rest is genuine, but for attached item (in this lot) we (former owner & myself) suspect it is post ww2 made.
It is printed on soft rubber like material. The blue spots on the background are rest of the paper sheet on which this insignia was stuck. Previous owner got it for a few quids from Ebay UK, and was wondering if this could be a uk ‘economy’ printed variant, like done for certain british army units ones, or more likely a post ww2 reproduction.

On my side, all the genuine variants of crew members’ breat insignia I’ve got were offered to me by vets, and were all either embroided or woven. I never saw this type of variant before. So by default classifying this one as likely fake / repro.

Would someone have already seen this one & could please share a bit on its story / thoughts?

Cheers,

JD
