Do you have copy of whichever Australasian Coin and Banknote Magazine has the article about the no dots? I don't remember either but off the top of my head your coin doesn't have two of the five possible die markers (I think). Also, some of the letters look like they have slight fish-tailing which would suggest a dot below but I'm not just how subtle the fish-tailing can get.

They are CBL so they are Dot Below. The CBLs are all from the Melbourne cloned reverse. Most (98-99%) CBLs (including yours) are from the Indian masters of 1920 with just 3 known CBL pairs that were struck well into 1921 from the 1921 Indian obverse that London sent direct to Melbourne.
