Hi Rosie,
 This certainly looks like him in NSW in 1898.

I wonder if there is any evidence of his passage to NSW around 1878?  The transition from Veterinary to Blacksmith ( he went into partnership with his Master Blacksmith father in 1871) is also a bit of a puzzle

In answer to the second part of the above post I think the answer is that most of a vets. work at that time was to do with horses.

There are a few records on immigration for a D Guthrie round about 1874-1879 but not much information  on the records to like it with your David ...As William  said most probably worked with horses
