Hi Mike - welcome back.
You're quite right, of course, that the Viljoen family association was allowed to register arms based on the unproven ones published by Theunissen, but that was in 1974, before the Heraldry Council made its decision. According to the record, the certificate (no 674) was held back pending the receipt of the family association's constitution, so when it was actually issued is unclear.
