Default 21st Infantry Bde, 7th Australian Division markings

I'm looking for examples of the markings used by 21st Infantry Brigade of the 7th Australian Division at Balikpapan in July 1945 and in particular those of the 2/14 Battalion and the 2/27 Battalion that landed at Sepinggang airstrip with a CAV unit (Cavalry?).

Also does anyone know which of the following RAE units supported the 21st Brigade;

Divisional Engineers 2/4 Field Company
2/5 Field Company
2/6 Field Company
2/9 Field Company
2/25 Field Park Company

My dad recovered a Chev C60 Derrick (A frame type), a Dodge Weapons Carrier and a few Jeeps off the beach a few months after the battle and I fancy doing a model of each. While the Dodge and the Jeeps could have been used by any of the above the Derrick is a bit more specific to the Engineers.

I know the 7th used a Kookaburra on a boomerang as the Div sign but some accounts say that the bird was more detailed than just a white silhouette and that by 1945 Army boots had been added to the bird's feet!

Not much available on the web so any help gratefully received.
