Agreed. This, from the book "Australia in the War of 1939-1945" Series One, Volume I published 1952 illustrates the problem. Look at the order of colours of the signs for 6 Div Cavalry and 7 Div Artillery. Also from the same book - "No gunner worth his salt ever wore his colour patch except with the red to the front" (representing the flash from the gun barrel followed by the blue smoke), declared 9th Division artillery sergeant - but he could not remember whether the left-hand patch was cut from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock, or from 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock.
