I don't think we sent any troops to the 1911 Coronation because of the expense, only the pollies went. There was a mob of senior cadets from NSW but I believe they went via public subscription and weren't strictly a coronation contingent.
You are probably on the right track though, perhaps Australian officers like Bridges who had extended tours of duty or were doing courses in the UK prior to the Great War had them made up.
