Looking for South African Brown Bread Recipe from the 1970s

I left South Africa in the 1970s and still long for what we called "Brown Bread" which was available from every "Corner Cafe" AKA Convenient Store. It would be baked by a local commercial bakery and often arrived at the store still warm. It was never wrapped in plastic like modern USA mass market loaves of bread. In no way could it be called artisan. It was the cheapest bread available. I believe it was subsidized bt the government. It was delicious. By the time we arrived home from it would be half consumed.

I have not yet found a recipe that tastes authentic. The seed bread recipes than Google offers me are not the same as my memory - but I mat be wrong.

The local bakery was called Gallaghers, as I remember.

I have found, and tried, the two recipes below. They are sort of close, but not quite there.

Any ideas from someone who remembers the taste?

Apologies if this request does not pass the "Artisan" bar. I ask as an Amateur Baker.
