Wheatmeal means the same as brown – any brown flour that is not a wholemeal. Like wholewheat, the term wheatmeal has been largely abolished but if you see it in a recipe it will mean a lighter weight brown.

Same here. In my experience a traditional Anzac biscuit is made with oats but I guess there are always variations on the theme. Find an Edmond's recipe book. The best Anzac recipe is in there and it does not have ingredients with obscure names in it.
I think cooksessential wrote one time that Anzac biscuits were any biscuit that were sturdy enough to withstand the transportation time, handling and distance they had to travel to reach our boys overseas during the war and still be fresh and edible on arrival (or something like that). That always sounded good to me. So maybe your recipe was one of those sorts of biscuits.
