The pages about the Royal South African Airforce are still incomplete but there is one design that might fit your needs:

AeroDynamics RBW-9B "Dragonfly" (alias Heinkel He 59)

The Dragonfly is designed as a long range recce plane to controll shipping and fishing in the Empires own and adjacent waters. With her crew of four (Pilot, Navigator/Bombardier and two Engineer/Gunner) she can remain on patrol for eight hours. During such long flights her armament is generally limited to four 125kg bombs under her wings and her three machineguns. If used as a strike aircraft against hostile shipping her bombload can be increased to a total of 600kg or a torpedo under her fuselage. The increased bombload comes at a cost of some range but enables the RBW-9B to deal out lethal blows. In a second role the large floatplane is used for rescue mission for which it remains unarmed. In 1928 an order of 40 planes for four squadrons and four trainers was placed.

Unfortunately, the Ca.310 doesn't exist yet, and probably won't be built at all. The Ca.309 does exist as a transport/utility aircraft to be used as a possible base.

A qustion to SAE and UK, both aircraft can switch roles with little preparation (SAR to Recon-Bomber)?

Delivery of the Dragonflys can be expected for November 1935 the earliest. The planes delivered will be D-models with a bit more power and slightly improved stats.
