These were actually the standard shoulder insignia used by airborne/sf during the hussein regime and will into post hussein iraq. I've known examples from the hussein era and virtually indistinguishable from the current era.
Also, can't stress enough tho, uniform regs in democratic iraq have been pretty lax and you can see just about any combo of insiginia on any army or police uniform, tho I'm sure that's starting to change.
Here's a good website for strictly iraq stuff: covers all periods and some very knowledgeable people there (and many are members here as well!)

Excuse me, I looked at the pictures closer and I see that these are not the exact Wolf Brigade patches
