Helm me identify this cap

[Dopplegarp]

Hi all,

This cap came from a South African soldier posted in North Africa during World War 2. It has no insignia or cap badge. I took photos of the markings inside as well as a closer up of the buttons. Any help with identifying what it is would be much appreciated.

That's a nice British field service cap.
Here's a bunch of the Australian counterpart.

Clearly 1941 dated by British maker j collett, general service buttons, used by every squaddie at the time, the universal pattern field service cap
