Subject: Help with ID of two WW2 leather patches

I recently acquired two leather patches with IDs, however, I have been unable to find any information to confirm these. The first patch was IDd as the 830th Bomb Sq (H) flying B-24s out of Italy. It is round with a red, white and blue circular border and two boxing ring ropes across the middle behind a bomb with a face, smoking a cigar and wearing boxing gloves, a blue cape, boots, belt, and an Uncle Sam hat that extends beyond the upper border of the patch.
The second patch was IDd as the 510th BS flying B-17s out of England. It is round with a yellow background and what appears to be a mosquito, wearing a leather flight helmet and goggles, steering a bomb with a snarling face, wings, and arms wearing boxing gloves. Any help is greatly appreciated.
