Just to add some historical background. These were SA’s first proper warships, commissioned in 1944-45. Ship name prefixes were HMSAS (‘His Majesty’s SA Ship’) until 1952, when the HM was dropped.
Their badges were originally diamond-shaped, ensigned with naval crowns in Royal Navy style. The SAN changed to circular badges a few years later, and then replaced the naval crown with the lion crest (called the ‘Navy lion’ in this context) in the mid-1950s.
HMSAS Natal’s original badge had the wildebeest running above a barry base, presumably white and blue. Transvaal’s had the oxwagon on a base barry wavy.
