Are these patches WW2 (1944) era?

Hi All. First of all, I'd like to say hello as I'm new on here.

I was in Normandy recently and picked these patches up at a small militaria store. The 29th Inf. Div patch was EUR 20 and the 4th Inf. Div patch was EUR 30. I'd like to ask if anyone who knows a lot more than me can tell if these look like 1944 era patches? Thanks so much in advance!

look good,
look at the ends, brown thread, I think that they have (I seem to see in the attached photos)
examples

place them under a U.V light too, if the white shine

(but I think these will not be the case)

The 4th is good, but the 29th looks like a reproduction to me

Hi there
The 4th ID could be WWII-1950 ish before it went to a White/silver background and its a probably a 5-8 US dollar.

The 29th is an odd weave construction and looks post war German made probably worth more than the 4th ID.
