Hi Dudley,
Thanks for the enlarged pictures and pictures of your grandfathers documents. Pity the TMSC is no longer valuable.

As far as the title goes, I was also under the impression that they came in english and Afrikaans versions to be worn on right and left shoulders. But I have two Medical Corps uniforms c.1960's, one of which came from the owner, and both jackets have unilingual titles (one to 4 FD AMB and other to 9 VD AMB)... no bilingual titles worn. Recently I got a copy of a document showing the SAMC units and it clearly shows certain units as English, others Afrikaans and remainder (mostly PF) as bilingual.

So based on this info I came to the conclusion I did and therefore the question of the title you have.
