The QSC and Botha Regt. badges are correct, but the flashes are for neither of these regiments.
This is the first I have seen of these. The brown flashes were typically worn by 'Native Military Corps' as well as Mechanical Transport but with a diagonal stripe of yellow running across the flash. This may be a variation as you say he was a driver.
The other possibility is that he may have got these from someone and they were not what he wore.
