Abstract: Recently, it has been observed that the Noether-Gaillard-Zumino (NGZ) identity holds order by order in $alph{a}^{\prime }$ expansion in nonlinear electrodynamics theories as Born-Infeld (BI) and Bossard-Nicolai (BN). The nonlinear electrodynamics theory that couples to an axion field is invariant under the $SL(2,R)$ duality in all orders of $alph{a}^{\prime }$ expansion in the Einstein frame. In this paper we show that there are the $SL(2,R)$ invariant forms of the energy momentum tensors of axion-nonlinear electrodynamics theories in the Einstein frame. These $SL(2,R)$ invariant structures appear in the energy momentum tensors of BI and BN theories at all orders of $alph{a}^{\prime }$ expansion. The $SL(2,R)$ symmetry appears in the BI and BN Lagrangians as a multiplication of Maxwell Lagrangian and a series of $SL(2,R)$ invariant structures.
