Hi Mike,
Do you mean the formation patch?
That's the South Australian Command patch that was worn by South Australian units in the 1950s.
During the 1950s, all soldiers wore battledress flash on their uniforms with a formation patch underneath it.
I also have two versions of the 3/9 SAMR hat badge - one has a painted black shrike on it.
