Which ones did the South African's develop?

They had a V shaped bottom which makes more sense...

The South Africans developed the RG-32, the Buffalo is a variant of the Casspir, the RG-31, and the Oryx. The Wer'Wolf is from Namibia. All these vehicles are modern factory versions of home made Rhodesian vehicles from the'70's.

OAS (in South African) produces both the RG-31 and the RG-32. OAS is a wholly owned subsidiary of BAE Systems but General Dynamics has the marketing rights for the RG-31. The Buffalo, produced by Force Protection (in South Carolina) is a derivative of a South African design.
