It appears to be the case Jim, I've never seen any other numbers. At least one and possibly two wore their unit number on the shoulder straps but I can't locate my notes in that respect.

Just had another look, they were 404/VAD and 411/VAD, both South Australian VADs. Because 3MD, 4MD and 6MD were all part of Southern Command until early 1942 they might have conformed in some aspects of dress.
