PetOp Pete Posted May 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others include Australia and New Zealand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Many Thanks for taking the time to post/reply. The SA theory I guess fits with the Nutria brown colour of the jumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
