I too, suspect that has simply been made up to it's present state, notwithstanding, you still have each piece and as long as each is original, you have a basic collective value.

What does not seem to make too much sense are the "South Africa" curved titles, quite redundant since the BD blouse does not lack other signs denoting the nationality of the wearer. Have you met this kind of occurrence before, gents? Thank you so much for your kind help!
