Haha, nice work Mike, I gave up when the kangaroo, kookaburra and platypus wouldn't "fit"! Your dingo is confirmed by the three digit unit sign - Corps and Divisional unit serials were all two digit, whereas HQ/Base/LoC unit serials were all three digit (commencing with 3, which appears to be the case here). However I'm unable to identify a likely Matador unit, and I doubt we can wring much more info from these pixels!

The camo pattern is certainly "interesting" as you say. The pattern seen in this AWM pic is much more familiar.

Interesting about the Monegeeta pic origin, rather cheeky of Anzac Steel to claim copyright.
