Steve Langton is probably correct, He was still racing at Brisbane in late 1950s where his nephew Bonnie LangTon also rode and spelled surname that way.

Many Aussies had their names mispelled on arrival here and they stayed that way i.e Ron JohnsTon was Ron Johnson and Bill LAngley soon became Bill LOngley.
