They are both garbage reproductions of actual patches, Shake. The company started off in the early days using variations of the Dragon theme; that's where the Bn got the "Flying Dragons" motto, from the 119th "Black Dragons." The Widow Maker is just another variation as they tried to figure out a callsign, notice the Croc is holding what looks like a shotgun?

There was really no central authority that issued callsigns; they tried to check to make sure nobody else was using whatever they picked, but sometimes they had to change again when they found out it was already in use somewhere else.
