Was the "Australia" just used during the initial period of occupation?

Nice photo -- thanks for posting. These guys aren't wearing battledress, but WW2 period service dress tunics with the collars open civvy style to show shirts and ties. When I get a chance I'll post a photo of one such in my collection, which has all the BCOF insignia on it.
