Can this be a Oriens paragola?
No. It is Oriens gola.
Normally there is no difficulty as the dark brown ground colour in O. paragola contrast strongly with the orange band.
In very worn specimens some confusion arises.
Oriens paragola.
The FW band is less sinuous so that the submarginal dark band adjacent to it is continuous & of a uniform width.

Oriens gola.
The FW band is more sinuous intruding on the submarginal dark band & reducing it into a series of irregular dark spots.
