Are all these aircraft in the Royal Australian Air Force? Because it's quite confusing as you're putting the RAAF at the end of the squadron.
If it's in the RAAF, it would be RAAF (#) Sqdn.
But since 450-467 Squadrons in the RAF were made up of Australians, they'd have been (#) RAAF Sqdn.
I sure hope someone understands what I just said.

We must be backwards or something, down here it's usually written how I've been doind it (#)sqnRAAF, same for the 400 series squadrons. Occasionally its also written RAAF (#)sqn like you said. Still I don't think it makes much difference, or does it??
Well, it can get confusing if you're taking it off the squadron codes on the aircraft fuselage. The RAF squadrons 450-467 are RAF squadrons with Australian crews. The RAAF squadrons are Australian with Australian.
The thing is; there's a RAAF 1 Sqdn. and a RAF 1 Sqdn. It's written how I wrote it before here.
