Thanks mate
The use of the rosette I would have thought is uncommon particularly with the colonial Aussie troops.
The only one I can think of is the coronation contingent who wore the first pattern rising sun on a rosette.
Would be very interested to hear from you regarding any discoveries you make
Cheers
