There is another factor to throw into the pot of things to weigh up about what the SAAF wore as brevets during WW2. Being in the desert, and being a smaller air force, supplies were harder to come by, and other forces supplies were much more readily available. I have a few pictures of some SAAF members wearing non -SAAF issued items, it is clear that they were more preoccupied about just getting on with the job at hand. Here are 2 of the anomalies.
