Military Police Corps - 1994 flag

During 1994 the corps flags of the SA Army were standardised. The springbok head represents the SA Army, whilst the red, yellow and black horizontal bars of the new corps flag indicate the SA Military Police Corps.

I'd be interested to know if anyone can provide additional information about these standardized flags. e.g. the corps colours used for the stripes. Also, I wonder if the hoist triangle should not be dark orange rather than red. Wouldn't that make sense, since the basic SA Army flag has a dark orange field?

I wonder if there's any further vex-intelligence about new corps flags? We had information on the List about one for the Military Police Corps, and I'd be interested to obtain descriptions of the others (if any). Since the MPC flag has the old Army badge (sans castle) in the triangular fly section, I suppose it will now be changed to show the new Army badge.

The vertical bars of this version of the Corps flag are descended from the World War 2 helmet flash and the colours of the Corps of Royal Military Police.
