Are either of these original WWII?

Both fakes, sorry.

The Parachute Regiment badge was not fitted with a slider, they had lugs.

Enjoy the hobby, Keith

Also the little inclusion between the top & second feather on the left had side is a dead give away.

As pointed out, the blob is the main giveaway and also as keith mentioned, wartime examples did not have sliders, and though some post war pre 53 versions did have a slider, you get this fake with lugs or sliders. Strangely enough, there is another badge with 4 blobs that is perfectly fine and original, but they are in a different to this one shown, the most common fake.
