Thanks for the reply. Do they both look genuine, or do you think they are restrikes?

You've got too much background not enough badge for my liking, a closer and more in focus shot we ould have been more helpful if you're asking for opinions on if they are all OK and not just what they are.

Shouldn't that be Regiment Oos Rand?

Yes, it is Regt Oos Rand. Regt Wes Rand was a name used by Regt President Kruger at one time.

2.5 is specifically the Native Military Corps, one of the three corps that made up the Non-European Auxiliary Services during and after WW II. The other two corps (Cape Corps and Indian & Malay Corps) had their own badges.
