Nice items! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the insignia on the beret attributed to Tpr. McCabe British SAS? Rhodesian SAS insignia of this type typically has horizontal background stitching in the scroll.

Rhodesian issue,Rhodesian worn, but all the international Squadrons wore British made badges up to at least the late 70s. Most Commonwealth Countries used U.K.(and Pakistan) cap badge makers.

Majority of Rhodesian insignia were produced in the UK prior to 1960s UDI period, the only exception would be locally made (ie. Theatre made) items.
