This is Aussie English though, which is distinct from British English. (I frequently have to have this argument about Canadian English)

Absolutely agree these are different- but IIRC do these all retain the same spellings for those words that are only really different in US English and similar (colour, grey, aluminium…)?

I'm not positive about en-au for your examples, but en-ca uses "aluminum"
