Default VAD information wanted

I am working on a new album on Australian VAD badges and I am not quite sure how many variants might exist. Any scans welcome but just information would be fine if any of the following exist:
1. First Military District
2. Second Military District
3. Sixth Military District ONLY or Southern Command ONLY
The badge illustrated is the only one I have seen that has both 'Command' and 'District'. Perhaps there may be others?
Thanks

I am not sure exactly how many versions there are of this badge, but I lucked into a Third District awhile back. I have seen five of them, so a sixth is a new one to me.

Hello Kingsley,

Eastern Command
1st Military District
Third Military District
Fourth Military District
Fifth Military District
Southern Command Sixth Military District
Commonwealth of Australia (1)
Commonwealth of Australia (2)

Unfortunately, the pictures aren't the best images, but at least you can see them all lined up together.

Cheers,
