Jon,
I've had a trawl through most versions, British and American, and I can't find anything like Bert's idiosyncratic additions. Only buckles are silver where the verse occurs and as for coming back for her mummy, well......and no starvalumps, probably some obscure Australian creature he encountered in the outback.
