Scarce WW2 British & US Airborne Recognition Scarf/ Panel (eleven found in old closed down shop)

Eleven unissued WW2 British & US Airborne yellow recognition panels recently discovered and acquired directly (by myself) from an old knitwear / clothing shop that ceased trading many years ago, this amazing shop still retains old stock and fittings from the 1930's through to the 70's, I believe that the panels were originally acquired to be cut up to make bunting or pieces for children's clothing etc.
These trapezoid shape panels are in excellent condition (few with very slight foxing) with each one bearing the makers name of Courtaulds Ltd 1941.
Courtaulds textile company were contracted by the Air Ministry to manufacture & supply acetate rayon yellow coloured recognition panels for the RAF survival kits (hence early date), these kits were then stored and carried on board heavy aircraft, the panels were later adopted and worn by British & American Airborne troops from mid 1944 on whilst in frontline areas ( Operation Market Garden & Operation Varsity).
The cotton edging / binding is also in excellent condition and totally different to the reproduction examples made for the re-enactment market.
All eleven were found together in an old cardboard knitwear box within a wooden drawer (box seen in images) and remain in stunning condition.
Each panel will be described and sold separately due to some having bold ink stampings and some less so as well as some having light foxing.
Another original example sold at C&T auctions on the 24th October 2018 Lot 319 for £(sold) hammer price (total approx.£(sold) so I am offering the first one for sale at £(sold).
The single panel seen in images will be the actual one received.
A rare opportunity to acquire an original example.
