Mick,
You are absolutely correct - trying to follow Australian unit lineages is like trying to unravel a bowl of spaghetti. I don't envy you the task although Alfred Fesberg's book is a great help. I had a copy once but must have lost in a move.
The matter is further complicated by the new badge not necessarily being issued until some time after the unit designation changed. I recall the a/a badge for The Royal Western Australia Regiment was not produced for some years after the unit was created in 1960 - possibly as late as 1965. I am not sure what the various battalions wore until them - probably the old battalion badges.
regards
Chris
