Bumping this older thread as I have posted my question on another forum, but no answers as of yet. Also, this thread has an excellent summary of the possible Join Line Pairs by Rob:

The complete list of King George VI coils
1938 1d green QE Die II - ACSC 181 - large holes - join above 20th stamp.
1938 2d red KGVI Die II - ACSC 188 - large holes - join above 20th stamp.
1941 1d maroon QE Die II - ACSC 182 - large and small holes - can be seen on either the 20th or 10th stamp.
1941 2d mauve KGVI Die II - ACSC 189 - large and small holes - can be seen on either the 20th or 10th stamp.
1942 ½d kangaroo (watermark) - ACSC 179 - large and small holes - can be seen on either the 20th or 10th stamp.
1943 1d purple-brown QE - ACSC 225 - large and small holes - can be seen on either the 20th or 10th stamp.
1944 2d bright purple KGVI - 228 - large and small holes - can be seen on either the 20th or 10th stamp.
1948 1d Princess Elizabeth - ACSC 246 - large and small - join above 10th stamp.
1948 2d purple KGVI (no watermark) - ACSC 229 - large and small - join above 10th stamp.
1949 ½d kangaroo (no watermark) - ACSC 180 - large and small holes - can be seen on either the 20th or 10th stamp.
1951 2d green QE - ACSC 248 - large and small - join above 10th stamp.
1951 3d scarlet KGVI - ACSC 251 - large and small - join above 10th stamp.
1951 3d green KGVI - ACSC 252 - large and small - join above 10th stamp.
I believe that I found a strip of four of the 1948 1d Princess Elizabeth (Scott 215, ACSC 246) that has "uniformly large holes perf" rather than the more typical large and small holes as seen in examples posted earlier. Here is the front and back:
If I'm reading the 2015 ACSC correctly, this would be 246bj which is valued as AUS$300 in a pair? I'm not sure I could find a buyer willing to pay that, but a nice purchase anyway.
