To throw the proverbial 'spanner in the works', I have a SAAF battledress jacket to an Air Sergeant with a photographer brevet made out of an observer wing with an embroidered 'P' in the 'O' of the wing. Jacket has red tabs and no sign of post 1950 'SA' collar tabs, so I am comfortable to say it is a late WWII, early post war jacket.
