Unknown Squadron patch-maybe early VF-154

[Siamundo]

I was hoping someone might recognize this and be able to help pinpoint the squadron that might have worn it and when. I think it does resemble the insignia of Navy Fighter Squadron 154 -especially the two orange stripes across the shield, but I have never seen this pattern before. Could this have been an early first design before they settled on the more familiar design of the Black Knight still in use today? I have read that VF-154's lineage includes VF-837 and VF-68A before they were designated VF-154 circa 1953, but I didn't know if this would have any connection to either of those earlier squadrons. I have also attached an image taken from the internet of their current design.

The rear. Strikes me as being an older Japanese made patch.
