There are photos of crossed MG with figure '2' worn as collar badges, I think this appears in one of JK Cossum's books but I don't have them to hand.

Ive got the Cossums sitting right here.

In Part 2, 1900 to 1930 on page 55 at the top right, No 182 shows 2nd. Machine Gun Company A.I.F. A combined Rising Sun over crossed machine guns over the number 2.
They are described as Hat/collar badges, 35mm. brass or oxidised, collar badges are identical. And then valued at $80.00 each.

I hope that this helps

Regards

Phil.
