Default Some unusual Brassards

hi all
going through the boxes again today and found my brassard collection.
there must be over 50, but i pulled out a few that i thought were a bit unusual.

brassard 1
australian staff college. this i would think is rather uncommon and is one of my favourites. obviously pre 1953, but what year do you think?

Default RAAF 75 sqd

a first pattern and genuine 75 sqd middle east brassard.
just before the squadron deployed from Australia, they wanted a patch to wear.
they commissioned this patch, the squadrons standard design but on deseret cam. as they were unable to get the desert cam because it was a restricted material, the patch and subsequent disruptive pattern was fully embroidered.

Default 1911 coronation contingent

i believe several of the australian contingent would have worn one of these, but i dont think ive ever seen a pic of it being worn
unfortunately, part of the colour has run, but still a rare item
