"All correspondence must bear these numbers"
I'd say that rather than the presence of courtesy lights being something to prove that it is a Sandman, there is probably more value in the lack of courtesy lights proving that a vehicle is definately NOT a Sandman.
yeah, thats the conclusion that i came to as well..
"All correspondence must bear these numbers"
I have a genuine HJ Sandman,and Im the second owner and mine never had courtesy light switches.
Just thought I should post this as I have been a member for a few months now.
HJ will only have them if it was a Kingswood or it was optioned.
when you say courtesy lights, what is it you refer to?
a hz sandman should have the roof light as operated by the push switches in the doorframes, AND footwell lights mounted to the underside of the dash which come on / off with the roof light.
next time im near my van ill grab a part number for the footwell lights
i believe its the footwell lights that is the tell tale sign, as most models had the roof light, but it was only sandman level commercials and premier / stato that had the footwell lights.
correct me if im wrong.

Don't forget the headlight switch turns them on as well.
BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman
A mate of mine had his ute for couple of years before he worked that out.
haha i had a guy come to buy something once with his girlfriend and complained about an interior light he couldn't fix.A mate of mine had his ute for couple of years before he worked that out.
