Attire may have changed over time, but the stars in the old photo are larger and on a different part of the lapel from those in the modern example provided by Malcolm. Tie is different too though that may have been "modernised" over the years too.

A quick google didn't find any examples of old Oddfellows attire but it might be worth looking into.

It may be Magliano/i. On FS there is a relatively recent family (20th century) of Magliano in Victoria in Australia and other locations in Australia.  The name seems to originate in Italy.
