Seems very suspect, heres why;
Its 4.11:1 diff with drums, V8's had Discs and 3.08:1 axle.
Its got Kiwi seatbelts and rear seat/door trim
The 2 ID tags are not on the firewall, this suggests that there is a NZ plate on the inner guard.
The engine has red rocker covers and aftermarket air cleaner although it appears to be a VK/VL block
It would appear that a VB-VK or VL V8 was used as the donor car because of the battery location.

4.11s and 25 spline I can kinda imagine...considering Holden did use bits and pieces...but drums on a V8? I personally think that would be going a bit too far (even for Holden).
calais3L, how do you differentiate between NZ seatbelts and Aus ones? I'm intrested to know now that you've mentioned it. (ps you have an extremely keen eye to be able to pick out something as insignificant (to me anyway!) as a seatbelt )
cheers
