I can't help with the RAAF uniform but the medal bar is missing the 1939-45 Star-if he qualified for the Pacific Star he would have that-the Stars are worn 1st left to right looking at the wearer so your pics show the bar upside down (if you're going to attach them to the tunic).

Hi

The RAF uniform looks very new 90s or newer the half wing is for load master the older style of the jacket was
reintroduced in more recent years

The RAAF uniform is post war by the MTX label the buttons will tell you how far king or queens crowns
the pilot wing is post 53 looks ok

A lot of these uniforms have only changed in small ways fabrics buttons etc
