Well, I agree. Still the whole set is quite puzzling: the collar lapels have two small holes and the lugs of South African Engineers Corps collar badges fit perfectly in. And there si a faint but still visible outline of the SAEC collar badges having been worn on the lapels sometime. But still a Sargent should have been wearing normal 6th SAAD/SAEC combo epaulette slip ons (no use for the 6th SAAD on the BD sleeve), and definitively no "South Africa" nationality titles. Also I can't understand why a Sapper should have been so well trained in the use of light and heavy MGs.
