Nope, can't recall seeing it on a '54.

Have seen it on the '53 but they usually also had doubling present on the Australia legend as well.

I don't have very many 1954 halfpennies but I did look through mine today and zip

I wonder if it's just strike doubling? Could explain why no-one has seen them before.

The doubling looks a bit similar to some proofs 1954s:
