Here is an example, can anyone venture a guess as to its age? (And if anyone can tell me what the writing says, I'd be grateful for that as well).

Ok, so if I get this correctly, light-blue and white is airborne and darker-blue and white is naval infantry, but otherwise the shirts are the same. Thanks for the help.

It's no coincidence that the shirts are the same ... one of the founding commanders of the Soviet paratroops came from the naval infantry, and that was one of the things he brought over.
