There's guidelines, and then there's Local Practice! Pre-WW2, each State used number plates (enamelled, screenprinted, painted, stamped or cast) for local registration that differed in size, style and font from state to state. If each Military District was responsible for issuing plates that were painted, some sort of local style may have crept in from existing states practices. It wasn't until stamped metal plates came in throughout Aust that standardised fonts and plate sizes came into force.
You only have to look at some of the variations in Aust Jeep hood numbers to see some of the styles that flourished.
