Any one know the meaning of this Butt Disc marking, I have looked in both of the books covering these markings and can not see it.

Any South African markings on the rifle, such as a broad arrow or a diamond inside a U?
Could be Home - South African College High School
St Albans Cathederal School?

No evidence of SA Service
I found S.A.C. which is South African Constabulary.
Or South African Constabulary Sisters my main man........ I always thought that the SA Police were controversially called the BRITISH South African Police - or the BSAP
Peter, BSAP were Rhodesian - the enforcers for Cecil Rhodes' "British South Africa Company".
There never was a "British South Africa"; initially South Africa was the 4 provinces (Natal, Cape, Orange Free State, Transvaal) and then confederated 1910-1961 into the Union of South Africa, and since 1961 the Republic of SA.
Brian, South African Constabulary would be a distinct possibility... if only one could explain the second S.

Not on a rifle unfortunately but here is a similar one from my collection.
The 6 prefix may help or confuse identification?Attachment 64666
Good to hear from you again Glen. Keeping well?
I am Peter.
Great occupation this retirement!
Possibly:
South African Corps of Signals.
For some reason, it was not named South African Signals Corps though the Afrikaans is exactly that (Suid Afrikaanse Sein Korps).Attachment 64684

Thanks Chaps for all your help.
South African Corps of Signals sounds the strongest possibility at this stage.
