I'm rather sure this badge was already discussed somewhere in the australian section but,where....just for the sake of discussion I thought of reposting it.

Regimental badge of the 4th Field Ambulance AIF. (IWM caption)

It's an unofficial badge - and quite a hard one to find.

I would say not many would have been made.

I think I have seen one before in a private collection - will see if I have a picture of it in my photo archives.
