Can anyone tell me anything about these two RAF 1941 Pattern Life Vests?
I am trying to both date them, and get an idea of the extra bits I would need to hunt for. Would also be interested in any good web links that might discuss them.
Thanks!

The other one, which I assume is a later issue, has a large two part pocket sewn on the right side for I believe an emergency light, and a rubberized canvas flap on the left side, for exactly what I am not sure of.
