Particularly so for officers who were seconded in their units for duty with Services Reconnaissance Department.
I imagine RAN personnel wore their normal rig with whatever rating and non-substantive badges they were entitled to, and HMAS cap tally.
'Z' Aust Special Unit was simply a holding unit to give unit identity to all these disparate personnel for the purposes of record-keeping, pay, etc.

Thank you Keith. You response gives me a little better understanding of the unit.
