Why not Billardiera mutabilis ? First just asking for your point of view?

I'm using an old Flora of NSW and am not familiar with mutabilis, this taxon has previously been collected from our place as B. scandens.

Yeah.
Much of the old records of B. scandens identify to B. mutabilis – but certainly not all.

In my point of view,
with this, your sighting here, i would like to see the internal structure of the fruits to have a sure and confirmed identification .

Twining shrubs; leaves mostly narrowly elliptic or ovate with flat or undulate margins; pedicels slender, pendulous or curving, 12–45 mm long in flower, often extending in fruit; ovary and fruit glabrous or rarely pubescent B.mutabilis

Ascending shrubs; leaves c. oblong, usually with distinctly recurved margins; pedicels stout, erect or sometimes pendulous, up to 12 mm long in fruit; ovary and fruit densely villous B.scandens

The recurved leaf margins and relatively oblong leaves should make this scandens i think
