No they're not the same. Cloth badges were worn by the RhSAS in the early 60's then they changed to the metal type. Then they reverted back to cloth in the 70's. However some SAS were still wearing anodised badges in the mid 70's.
RhSAS berets were a mixture made in the UK, SA and Botswana that I know of. Later berets would have been Botswana made the same as the Selous Scouts berets.
