Howdy, hoping someone can give me some pointers on how to identify the 1955 (& also the 1956) 'mule' pennies.

I did many google searches, but I couldn't quite make sense of it all.

Cheers Simon

For the 1955 you firstly need a Y dot with the wide date (Perth coin with the 5's in the date further apart).
You then check the obverse for (obverse 9 (Perth)) the I's in Gratia and Elizabeth aligning on a gap (and not a denticle as the common type).

For the 1956 you also need a Y dot coin with (obverse 8 (Melbourne)) the I's in Gratia and Elizabeth this time on a denticle. They are about as I have some of each and one of the 56's in UNC.

The link DV put up will show the above obverses. Cheers.
