I agree John, L. guichenoti. I would add that the larger grey flecks on the back towards the front of the body are not as obvious as they usually are in guichenoti and the absence of a dark mid-vertebral stripe makes it a harder identification. But not all L. guichenoti have the mid-vertebral dark line (e.g. photos in Robertson and Coventry 2019). The grey flecks lower down on the back and on the tail are more typical of guichenoti. So yes I agree it is guichenoti.
It does seem to suit aculeata the best. Does look a bit odd but VicFlora also says the leaves can be up to 15cm long (exceptionally) so might be okay in regards to leaf length. Flowering is given as Oct-Apr so again probably okay. Still seems a little bit odd though so not 100% certain
