Hey Phil 
I am largely unfamiliar with these species, buy just in case it can be of help, Dean says:
"E. mannifera ssp. mannifera is distinguished from ssp. gullickii (swamp brittle gum), of the central tablelands of NSW, in the narrower juvenile leaves (elliptical juvenile leaves in ssp. gullickii) and the more rounded fruits (obconical in ssp. gullickii).
Populations of E. mannifera from the Goulburn to Canberra region of NSW have been known as ssp. maculosa because of their variably narrower juvenile and adult leaves. Such variability occurs throughout the range of E. mannifera and thus subsp. maculosa is not recognised as distinct here.
Closely related to the commonly cultivated E. scoparia (Wallangarra white gum), a rare species from the border region of QLD and NSW, differing from the latter only in the dull, blue-green juvenile and adult leaves (glossy and green juvenile and adult leaves in E. scoparia)."
Also this could be of some aid. If the tree is growing "wild" should have more chances of being E. mannifera, but seems E. scoparia could also be if it is an urban planting.
Cheers
Gus
