It has become hard to tell the licence grade from callsigns these days anyway - unless you specifically look up the ACMA database - more-so if they are relatively recent issues.

Hi Doug and Hilary,
this will become harder to do callsign lookups if the ACMA forge ahead with their initial plans to stop publishing AR licenses in the database, all part of their cost saving and the class license proposals from what I have read over the last year.
