The first man is a very close relative of the modern South-African worker. He lacks feet and the blade of the spade is partly visible.
Some small differences though:
  • the heap has a sharp top (rounded in S.A.)
  • his head rests on a neck (kept in place by magnetism in S.A.)
  • the design is mirrorred thus suggesting right-hand driving.
  The second man looks familiar although I can't find any similar design on the site (It sometimes happens to me with real people too).

The last man has nothing human left. They probably hired another primate from the continent who has still a lot to learn. It looks like he's running away with the warning sign thus causing a real safety threat.
