Advice needed pls

Hi all.

Forgot I had these. I wanted to collect militaria when I was a kid, (before discovering beer, girls and guitars!)
and must have picked these up at the old Warnham War Museum fairs in Sussex in the '80s. (Anyone remember those?)

My question is:- Is there a safe way to clean them up a bit or is it too risky? They are a little delicate.

I also believe there are several patterns of the jump wings. Which one would these be?

Cheers,

Brian.

Nice badges, I wouldn't clean the para wings personally.

On the WW2 issue wings, the threads on the wings are horizontal
