I think that 47 FA does not represent the 47 Field Artillery as the sequence would be something like 47th Brigade RFA.

The military administrative district that covered most of New South Wales, in Australia, was referred to as "The Second Military District"...... commonly written "2MD", as opposed to the 1MD, 3MD, 4MD and 5MD.
I think you will find that at one time the stirrup was used in Australia and the markings will be Australian related. I would expect the 3 13 to be the date of acceptance......3rd month, 1913.
