I believe wing began it’s life as a CPT Instructor wing before the center device was added. Many years ago Russ Huff identified one just like this example as a very early aircrew wing in one of his “Wings and Thiings” publications. Can anyone confirm or refute that? Any thoughts on what it actually is would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the CPT to compare. I like it but never saw one with the eagle affixed to it.

My understanding is that the Enlisted Reserve CPT wings (WITHOUT eagle device) are the wings that the actual Reserve Pilot received upon completing the Civilian Pilot Training programme.
I read somewhere it was thought that the much harder to find version of the wing with the small eagle device attached may be the CPT programme Instructor's version.
