I'd be keen to know as well! South African MPs wore black on red within SA in WWII and their 1934 Dress Regs specified black on red but are understood to have worn British type red on black overseas. This may have been to blend in and reduce the chance of being a target or may simply have been a matter of supply. In 1960s and since South African MPs have worn black on chilli red.
