Your first para wing is worn by the British 22nd SAS Regiment.  This is a fairly current piece originally produced in the 1960s and I believe it is still being worn today.  It was also worn by the Australian SAS Regiment beginning in 1966.  The other two para wings are post 1983 and worn by the 3rd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment - Parachute Battalion Group.  The first is one of many variants of their winter dress wing and the second is one of a number of variants of their summer dress wing.
