(a) a reference, in relation to a member, to a prescribed pension payable to the member under a superannuation scheme applicable in relation to any employment in which he was employed at any time before the date on which he became a member is a reference to a pension payable to the member under such a scheme (other than the scheme constituted by the provisions of this Act and the other Acts relating to retirement benefits for members of the Defence Force) that was based wholly upon contributions under the scheme by the employer or was based partly upon such contributions and partly upon contributions by the member but does not include a reference to a pension the payment of which was deferred; and
(b) where a pension referred to in paragraph (a) was commuted, in whole or in part, for a lump sum after the pension became payable and before the date on which the person to whom the pension was payable became a member, the pension shall, for the purposes of this Division, be treated as not having been so commuted.
