Ahhh OK thanks anyway. I say someone else using those bases or similar on their blog to make forest too as the bases fitted like jigsaw pieces but they could not remember where they got them either.
I think the may be OOP from Timeline?

Warbases do something similar in their 'movement trays' section, but it looks a bit smaller.

Sally 4th do 10-hole 2x5 irregular trays IIRC.

It's always worth a chat with Warbases if they don't already do what you're after; they've got doing custom base designs down to an art-form.

I've seen the odd  piccy of Glider pilots with their rank chevrons on both sleeves. But cannot recall having seen but one of a Para of Air Landing Brigade soldier in either Normandy or Arnhem. Your figures look too splendid to spoil for an 'aypeth o' tar!

Excellent painting SP. Extra credit has to go to the sculptor though, they really look they are wearing that equipment. I always thought that the Artizan paras were the best on the market but not so sure now. 
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.
