From research I have done re. GPO badges worn in South Africa.
The script badge GPO with blades was a cap badge worn in the UK as well as in the colonies. The same badge with lugs was worn as a collar badge. It was used in South Africa c.1890's through to 1930's
A crowned wreath with same title was worn by senior officials. In South Africa, this badge was in bullion, but it is possible that there was a metal version as well which may have been used in one of the colonies.
