Could be almost any unit in South Africa at the time. Most SA troops wore khaki shirts not greybacks in Africa.The Union Defence Force wore a variety of uniforms (including shirts) in WW1...They had only been established in 1913 and in addition the supply situation was dire. I've seen wartime documents in the archives indicating stocks of Khaki clothing of any description were being sought as many men were being trained in civilian dress due to a shortage of uniform fabric etc.
