Default Order of Battle 1st Armoured Div, 2AIF

I have been sorting out my Australian colour patches, and find that I have about 18 for units of 1st Armoured Division.

Does anyone have the Order of Battle - "Orbat" - for the 2AIFs 1st Armoured Div during WW2?

I would like some idea of what I am missing from my collection.

Sample scan of 4 patches attached.

Thanks Mick, looks like I have some "homework" to do.

I have had these patches since the early 1970s. If only we had had the net back then.
