I originally was not going to buy these as I have looked at 100+ pictures of Rhodesian combat forces and have not seen a single pic of any infantry wearing berets. I have seen pics of Armoured car crews in the beret though. However, I read in Chris Cocks book that the RLI after 1978 were allowed to wear their berets in the field. Whether they did or not I have no idea. but if they were allowed other units also might have been allowed. it is plausible. also it looks cool. and that won in the end.
