SAP in full SAP-uniform in Rhodesian Operational Area.

The Rhodesians L-R are: Commissioner of BSAP Syd Bristow, President Clifford Dupont and Commander of Rhodesian Army Lt Gen Keith Coster.

Does anybody know the SAP-Major?

Of interest is the mixture of dress of the SAP men parading for President Dupont. One section is in Rhodesian camo, but with puttees, which the Rhodesians never wore. The other section is in the normal SAP uniform, including one in formal dress. The officer with the Rhodesian president, Mr Dupont is also SAP, but we cannot see the rank on his slip-ons. Date early 1970s. Place unknown, but it is a main base in the operational area.

Does anybody know the SAP-officer in Rhodesian camouflage dress?
