Concerning Polish para badge - it's standard modern badge with "Fightning Poland" (PW) sign inside the wreath (instead of number of jumps).
It was 316 "Polish SOE" jumpers sent to Poland but it is unknown with the number of commemorative para wings with PW symbol. There are known a few WW II combat para badges with PW symbol addes after the WW II.
