Thanks Keith for posting the link. The titles are rare because very few men in the unit and the jungle also swallowed a lot, including their owners. Their original uniforms were apparently made by Chinese tailors in Rabaul but no info about where the metal titles were made. The Australian government provided very little in the way of arms or equipment.
I have never visited the PNGVR museum in Brisbane which mainly features the post-war regiment with the QC badge. I contacted them but did not receive any reply to my question whether they had any WW2 titles on uniforms. They did sell me a copy of the book you mentioned.
