This picture was from an Opening of Parliament in the 1930s.
Seated - Maj Gen AJE Brink (CGS)
Standing, fltr: Unknown SAAF officer, CW Meredith, GE Brink.
Meredith was a Staff Officer at Cape Command in the 1930s. Later as Air Vice Marshal Sir Charles he commanded Rhodesian Air Training Group. George Brink was Officer Commanding Cape Command in the early 1930s and went on to many things including a stint as D Mil Ops & Trg at the start of WWII, GOC 1 SA Division and retired as Dir-Gen Demobilisation with rank of Lt Gen.
My interpretation of my fragments of the 1933 Dress Regulations are that these gentlemen are wearing "Full Dress - Review Order" while the chap above with white cap cover is wearing "Full Dress - Modified"
