I certainly would not buy one of these as an actual Selous Scouts beret!

Answer: toss a coin in the air and pick one side because you'll never know.
Boina Militar de OGFE berets were worn by Portugese in Mozambique at that time before they left in about 1975. Have heard rumours that some were worn by some Selous Scouts.
My opinion is I have never seen any evidence to confirm that and it's probably doubtful. All the berets I have seen were made in Botswana.
