Really nice skin harpia but are you sure with the RAF roundels? The SAAF proudly used there 'own' roundel which is the same as the RAF but with orange in centre instead of red. This is often depicted wrong/not clear in profiles.
There are some exceptions known with freshly arrived/new aircraft assigned to SAAF units. The inner of the RAF roundels applied by factory were usually overpainted in the field as soon as it was possible. Regarding Hauptfleisch's who painted a very unique patriotic noseart with the south african springbok to his
kittyhawk it seems very unlikely he flew with RAF roundels.
All the best
