Good question, impossible to answer. I don't think we needed a Brit to teach us how to shoot. Perhaps someone can find the link to the original online photo which may be on the AWM website. Other instructors in the group, undoubtedly Aussies, are also wearing the badge on their caps. It might be the standard British crowned badge but I suspect that it was made up from the normal sleeve skill at arms badge and a major's rank badge.
No doubt here are other photos of Australians wearing distinctively British badges like MG Corps or Camel Corps. All I have is an unofficial leather Australian Pioneers colour patch with a superimposed British crossed pick and shovel collar badge.
