Hi Rob,

Ive now dug mine out, I have a group of 3 being 2/INF/AUSTRALIA.

I got this many years ago from one of the long term UK dealers.

The 2 and INF have 2 round dark copper lugs, however the AUSTRALIA has 2 flat topped Y shaped lugs that are brass looking and looking at it from the back the left A and the A between the I and the R have nice little round holes at the bottom, its very noticeable in the 2nd one. All 3 are flat backed.

I have also seen a photo of WW1 Diggers wearing the number and INF on their collars in place of a collar dog rising sun, but would not now know where to find the photo.

I hope that this helps.

Regards Phil.
