Does the National Archives of Australia have any records?

That would be the first place I would check.

They seem to have a lot of records there for individual Munitions Workers.

Worth a look.

Thats the problem with the NAA links. They tend to time out.

Just search for "Munitions Worker + 3043" and you will find it.

Found a site about WW1 Australian Munitions Workers that also lists badge numbers and it confirms :

WILLIAMSON James Thomas 3043

https://australianmunitionsworkersww...-wilson-a.html

I don't know anout Australian issued badges but in the U.K the number on the badge was the workers number and they were issued with a certificate bearing that number.

Victoria Museums only states :
Quote:
A number was often stamped on the reverse and a certifcate was provided as authentication.
