I thought it originated in WW2 England (could have been earlier) the "V" for
Victory. I can see the sense, at least with that war where victory would mean
peace, so V for "peace" vs victory?

We used the "V" sign to signify to other bikers there was a 'cop' further up
the road, which we just passed (opposite direction of travel). Signalled
'rods' the same way.
Then, somewhere along the way it became a sign for "peace brother".
