Default Springbok on tank badge

Hi, just got this badge. Can anyone say what it was for or who would wear it? I've included the earlier version and collar for comparison, also has anyone information on who would wear these, or are they all some form of bling? thanks in advance Mike

Hi Mike, these are South African Tank Corps. They were unofficially modified like this. They were worn during the Second World War in North Africa. Regards Andrew

Hi, thanks for the replies. I'll assume they were just some form of bling, best wishes Mike
