De-Badged 1984 Type Para Smock

Hi,

 

A friend recently picked up this tidy but de-badged 1984 type Para Smock. It once had the usual wings on the right arm, but I wonder if anyone has any ideas what the rectangular badge missing from the left arm might have been? (As DZ patches are usually square)

 

I was also curious to know if anyone had seen a Pegasus badge on the back of the neck before?

 

No maker name on the label, so I assume it was made circa 1995-2010 unless anyone has any better ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Left arm is 5 Airborne, obviously an old sweat as he has the 5AB flash on the collar.

Have you a pic of the front ?

Thanks for that. So can I assume that the left arm badge would likely have been a TRF for one of the units in the 5AB?

I've asked for a picture of the front.

 

Cheers,
