Heavily worn wings.

I have posted a set of wings that match these from South africa. They came together and I am trying to determine if they are real and what era they are from. I can't imagine this much wear was acceptable in a uniform inspection. Let me know your thoughts.

Chet, have you got your photos mixed up?

These RNZAF wings have the King's crown, as do the SAAF wings. I wonder and am only guessing if the wear and tear can be caused by equipment being worn? Gas mask straps, something under the flying jacket, life jacket? All just guesses.
