The cloth shoulder title "7 MED. REGT S.A.A (3T.S)" represents the 7th Medium Regiment of the South African Artillery (SAA), specifically its post-war iteration that inherited the traditions of the 3rd Battalion, Transvaal Scottish (3 T.S.).
- 7th Medium Regiment SAA (3 T.S.): This unit was formally reconstituted in July 1946in Benoni, South Africa. It was formed from the first intake of post-war recruits who had previously belonged to the 3rd Battalion, Transvaal Scottish.
- The "3T.S." Designation: This stands for the Transvaal Scottish influence. While the unit was officially an artillery regiment, its members were uniquely permitted to continue wearing Transvaal Scottish shoulder titles and buttons while adopting the artillery's cap and collar badges.
- Wartime Predecessor: The original 3rd Battalion, Transvaal Scottish was an infantry unit that saw significant action in North Africa during WWII but was essentially destroyed at the Battle of Sidi Rezegh in November 1941.
