These may help, although it does not show the badge being worn.
https://wwiiathome.com.au/efm.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_...nition_Factory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenc...ry_Maribyrnong https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws....nt/5519651.PDF I believe this is just WW1 and Britain, but does show some badges. http://munitionsbadges.weebly.com/up..._munitions.pdf This shows an Australian badge, but not he one you have. https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C1193475 This may be the link you already have but it does describe it as a 1940 Munitions worker' badge. https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=4208&lot=4021 Lots of badges here, but do not see yours specifically http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-.../civilian1.htm All I could find with a few quick searches. Maybe they will lead to other sites that will detail your badge. Terry |

Perhaps the reference book I mentioned "Emblems of Unity Badges of Australia's Trade Unions by Smith Gregory J" has more details , the National Library of Australia has a copy but unfortunately not online. .
