I collect Canada WW2 not Australian but have recently come across covers from Canada to Aus with censor labels like this. The example below has the number 3 on it but I have seen other numbers.

What do these numbers refer to?

That how it works for Canadian and other countries but the numbers rum very mich higher. For Canada into the high hundreds and for the UK into the thousands. I have only seen single figures for Australia labels so I had discounted that as an answer. Perhaps I am wrong.
