Just out of interest, do you have any post 1924 photographs showing the collar badges being worn?

Have finally come across a post-1924 picture of the NZEF NZAOC collar badges been worn.
Taken at an Artillery Camp at Waipukurau during March 1934, it shows Armament Staff Sergeant J.W(Bill) Dalton wearing the 1917 pattern badges and Armament Staff Sargent A.S Richardson wearing the NZEF badge. Richardson served in the NZEF NZAOC so wearing the NZEF badge could be the original ones that he was issued in 1918.
