That is a nice artefact. Both brothers received the same 4 clasps: www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-...ener?start=270#65344

So i'm guessing the clasps are Cape Colony, Werner, Wittebergen and Belfast for the QSA. South Africa 1901 and 1902 for KSA medal

In the next Spink sale is lot 24 which contains 22 erased and renamed medals.

Included in a Wepener QSA described as:

QSA (4) Cape Colony, Wepener, Transvaal, Wittebergen, mostly erased

Spink go on to say the QSA is 'likely that of No. 3447 Private Joseph Chesworth, Cape Mounted Rifles, who is entitled to these clasps.'

Joseph Chesworth served in the CMR between 1898 and 1904, Earned the KSA (2). Possibly also served in the 1896 Mashonaland Rebellion with the BSAP.
