Hi Keith,
Had hoped to locate a photo for you but it was only of an AUSTRALIAN/WAR/CORRESPONDENT title.
An OFFICIAL/A.I.F./PHOTOGRAPHER title was worn in the Middle East as black embroidered lettering on a khaki slip-on from late in 1941 as a result of a request for identification by the AIF Military History Section.
I haven't any information on a metal title for them but the Australian War Correspondent metal title was worn in the Middle East at the same time so I can't rule the metal photographer title out. I note however that the metal war correspondent title was of much neater manufacture and the AUSTRALIAN was straight, not curved.
Regards, Keith
