For comparison until recently there was what I think could be a genuine PW sign here on the same road (incidentally it's a camera glitch - it did actually say B1145 on the sign)
Your second one looks like a real PW, the first one not - the font is Transport Medium and the corners are too rounded, it's a Worboys route confirmation sign with no destinations.
Agreed, the first is Worboys.

Chatham dockyard, a matching pair (I thought I posted them at the time), frame and pole look genuine, the design is the original 1933-53 red background, but the signs appear pretty recent and no font similar to what was made besides MoT font as alternatives. Any views?
