I concur with Barry, puggaree, air vents spread wide and trim around the brim don't make sense for it being a NZ lid, so am leaning to it being Australian and the lions head is added to deceive its true period of use.
The picture below shows a WW1 NZ slouch with lions head, note no air vents or fancy trim around the brim.
