Sorry Blacksheep, memory is playing tricks with you there. Kenya appeared as a clasp on the Africa General Service Medal which was first awarded in 1902 with Edward VII's head on the obverse. There was a gap between 1915 and 1956 when the Kenya clasp was approved, probably the longest in the history of British campaign medals.
Malaya and Cyprus were clasps on the old 1918 GSM, whilst Radfan and Borneo appeared on the 1962 version.
Maybe he'd had the clasps refitted onto one medal, but I doubt if an eagle-eyed SWO would have let him get away with that.
