The market is always changing, you'll get alot of tire kickers though

Deffo VL8VK19-224
224 means it's the 224 pack, meaning rear disk, certain tyres and 8VL spec
Which is berlina.

26-08-15, 19:10 GMT+10#186 Really? Well that's not right....
VL8VK is SL, VL8VL is Berlina and VL8VX is Calais...ending in 19 is Sedan, 35 is Wagon.
As you mention, 224 (as listed in the Holden parts catalogue) is LW5 (Turbo), MS1 (Auto), JM8 (Rear Discs) and QQS (Tire 205/65/15) - 8VL (Berlina)
Example, I've got Brents Calais Turbo tags here, which are VL8VX19 - 324, X being Calais.
Check the long skinny tag on your firewall, it should start with 8L (Berlina) as opposed to 8K for SL......Brents tag here starts 8X to match the body tag.
Could be a factory misprint?

26-08-15, 19:31 GMT+10#187 Yeah the tag starts with 8L
I was told that the pack number overruled anything on the model prefix, unsure how true that is tho.....
Either that or it's a factory misprint, all other numbers and plates line up too.

Agreed, but a misprint none the less, I've got the broadcast sheet that the car was built with and its "L" instead of "K" all other letters and numbers match.
