One point that had escaped me when I originally posted was that the 1916 badge has originally had "loops" on the back but that these have been removed and "pin back" fittings. I can confirm that it is white metal and NOT plated.
I have located some tender documents (Commonwealth of Australia Gazette) for the supply of these badges. Tender is for two lots of 10,000 badges.
Where are all the others?

Great pics!
I didn't even know there was an Enlisted in 1916 badge. I have only ever seen Enlisted in 1918 badges.
