Why is the main section of the original epaulettes as shown is Loupies nice finds a different colour to the plate you have posted? Originals appear to be purple.

Loupie I have many of the "orange tab epaulettes" (although not nursing) but they are almost always a different shade of red or orange unless they are a matching pair from one source. And yes, some are definately red hence it is recorded in a few sources that the South African troops had "red tabs" on their shoulders!

Regards
Brian
