The 51st (Albert Park)) Infantry wore a LI bugle surmounted by a KC above the bugle cords and between the cords an oval enclosing the number 51 during the period post c1912 to c1918. It was the successor to the Victorian Rifles after the 1911 reforms. Not to be confused with the 51st Bn AIF.
All very rare and expensive.
That is about it. Unlike the Canadians, Australia rarely used the British designs as the basis for their badges, with the exception of some "Scottish" units, with the result they are not very attractive or eye catching designs.

The 13th Battalion (Lachlan-Macquarie Regiment) badge from 1953 to 1960 has a Light infantry bugle on it and the collars (from memory) are opposing bugles!
