It's white metal and a good badge.
After 1943 they would have been integrated into the Special Service Battalion, which had then became armoured. They would then have worn the SSB badges.
The SSB badge then stayed the same and was later renamed the SAAC (S.African Armoured Corps) in 1963.
Hope this helps.

Re: SOUTH AFRICAN TANK CORPS Cap Badge
That would be my understanding, but things didn't always happen according to rules and regulations. The Tank Corps was "disbanded " in 1943, so their badge would have been obsolete.
Bear in mind that not all of the 6th division members would have worn the SSB badge, only the armoured corps.

Re: SOUTH AFRICAN TANK CORPS Cap Badge
Dear Tom:
So I guess most of the 6th division members wear their own "Unit cap Badge" some of are not.
For example: 11th Armoured Brigade in the SA 6th division will be possibly wear:Prince Alice's Own Pretoria Regiment, Prince Alfred's Guard and Special Service Battalion Badges?
Here is the reference: 6th Armoured Division (South Africa) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
