I have seen these pictures before of the SAHA wearing grenade cap badges. I suspect they are generic artillery grenade badges used as an interim before been issued with the SAHA cap badge (Springbok head with crossed cannons).
I have copies of pictures of the SAHA when they left South Africa for UK, and all personal are wearing the standard SA Expeditionary force Springbok badge in circle with title 'Unity is Strength - Eendrag Maakt Mag'.
They were subsequently issued with the SAHA badge in the UK before departure to the front. I suspect the Grenade badge was an interim badge to identify these guys as artillery.
Sorry, don't have any clearer information.
