Richard Farrant Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 18 in the number denotes it is South Africa Quote
PetOp Pete Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 And the Nato Supply code makes sense. However, the manufacturer does't appear to have ever had a CAGE Code. Was Apartheid-era South Africa even part of the cataloguing system back then? Quote

Others include Australia and New Zealand Quote

Others include Australia and New Zealand Including a lot more than just NATO and "friends" like Australia and NZ: http://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/pdf/NCS_codes_chart.pdf But I wonder if politics might have kept South Africa out in the 1980s.
