Cape Corps Eight Army Epaulette Slip on

[loupie1961]

A recent purchase: is an epaulette slip on badged to the Cape Corps, evidently attached to the Eight Army. What is quite interesting in this specific epaulette, otherwise quite similar to those posted in this thread: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=42076
is the orange tab with the South Africa worsted in white cotton as in the tubular slip on tab portraited in https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=38914
Wondering what would the use of the "South Africa" writing on the orange tab, but still is there to see!
