Correct, collar badges were not worn on the bush jacket and in my research I have noted the following:
Cape Corps:
Only European officers and the CC Band wore collar badges
Indian & Malay Corps:
Again I think only the European officers wore IMC collar badges. Pictures of IMC members are very scarce.
Native Military Corps:
Very few pictures and generally they did not wear collar badges, but I have seen one or two group pictures of collar badges been worn by NMC members.
I believe the uniform you show was put together for that collection and not an original period item.
