Also common in SA school canteens in the old days were mini Victoria sponges like these, called “othellos”, although nothing much like Danish othellos.

And below that, Kitchener buns, originally called Berliner buns but undergoing name change in WW1.

The bottom ones look like cream doughnuts. Although they usually make them long rather than round in this district.

Yes, it’s a yeasty doughnut-style bun.
