I would question the RAA title in use at that time, the Victorian, NSW and Queensland permanent artillery had only become RAA in July 1899. The change in designation for the NSW Regt RAA had only been notified in September, the first NSW contingent departed in December 1899 for the Anglo-Boer War (or Second War of Independence, depends what side you were on) and as far as I know the RAA title was not approved (for shoulder strap and collar) until 1903 with the first contracts approved in 1904.
