Can anyone ID these wings? Are they even from RCAF? Someone suggested they might be South African in origin.

TIA, Dave

Did a little more research on these patches and Bill is absolutely right, these are RAF "nationality" patches. There were two types of patches, curved and rectangular. The curved patches generally had a grey/blue background while the rectangular patch generally had a black background. British Airmen serving in Canada did eventually start wearing a "GT. BRITAIN" title below the patch.
