Nice group of badges. The one on the right is a military one, worn by the SA Instructional Corps from the mid-1920s to the mid-1950s. The original wearer of the badge may have been an ex-policeman though, as many members of the colonial police forces were transferred to the Union Defence Forces in 1913.
The lower badge is indeed Natal Police, and most definitely associated with SA. Natal became a province of SA in 1910, and its policemen were later embodied in the SAP, the UDF, and the Prisons Department.
