It is definitely a South African made dog tag. The number is a bit strange. All numbers except for the very early ones consisted of 8 digits and two letters at the end. The two letters indicated if the man was regular army/ part time or a national serviceman. As example permanent force regulars all had PE at the end of the number. National service men had BG at the end. There are a number of these codes. When I get back to my home computer will look for more info.
