Apparently Nola sp. (genus) looking similar to the yet to be confirmed Nola 'ínterspersa' (iNaturalist/ALA) or N. pleurosema, see CNM Sighting No. 4370032. The name Nola interspersa not found on the Australian Faunal Directory.

Yes, certainly the same moth. I've put 4370032 into Nola (genus) so the two records will be together. I'll look again at set specimens.

4373900 and 4373900 may be Nola tetralopha. Not all specimens have the sharp black lines of the first CNM record, or the iNAT records. See some of the BOLD records.
