Well, she's an aussie, so maybe that was slipping through now and then...

What was it even meant to be? British? because it definitely wasn't British

That is not how Auzzies talk?

My best guess is she's supposed to be based on Lara Logan, a south African.

Her character was an English-speaker with a Dutch surname, and I believe there was a reference in a deleted scene to her working in London.

I would guess she was a South African who had spent so much time in Britain she had started to talk like the locals.

So she ended up with an accent that was sort-of British, except when it wasn't.
