The Fold3 record does state he was a Carpenter so would fit with a Wheelwright 
Nothing much else to go off though sadly.
Didn't find any reference in the newspapers to his desertion around that time in August/September 1881
Would he not have been included on the 1881 census?
Also surprisingly I couldn't find a service record on FindMyPast who are normally pretty good for Army Service Records around that time.....
The desertion and the Queensland, Australia birth he stated on the 1921 census could work now that he left England around that time to live in Australia but I guess any ships records he could have lied about to protect him from his desertion and likely his time in Australia. I mean he lied on his return from 1909 onwards so very plausible

and on the 1921 census he has stated he was born in Queensland, Australia and was aged 50 when he would be aged nearly 60! He was living at 68 Back St Anne Street in Birkenhead, Cheshire.
