Just adding some pics to this thread and hope it may be of relevance.
This is my grandfather c. 1942/3 taken in Cape Town. He is the officer in the background (Lt.(E) John Morrow Whyte, R239166). He had signed T124 and was merchant navy. The officer in the foreground we do not know, but suspect also T124 merchant navy
Note the cap badge appears to be standard RN one but the anchor appears to be surrounded by a circle (ie. no 'foliage' is intruding into the circle as on regular RN officers badge... hope this description makes sense). Both officers wearing RNR lace.
