Since my thoughts on the number stamped on the cowel has been clarified as stamped by the factory, can anyone tell me how this relates to the car, as i cannot find this number duplicated on any of the compliance plates or chassis, and its not a body number as i dont belive the early vans if any had body numbers.

It is a body number that was stamped on the cowl at the Elizabeth body plant (can't remember when it stopped, late HQ I think) and on the firewall at the Pagewood body plant (finished during HZ). It won't match any ID tag numbers but there is a pattern to the numbers (which is what I won't reveal as it helps identify non-original bodies). The number will also appear on the production broadcast sheets for Pagewood assembled vehicles and it appears in GMH build records.
