Having a look at your compliance details they look very similar to my HQ ute. The motor would have obviously been a HC 253 and the plate is unstamped exactly like mine because it is a base model engine for the 80270 spec. If it was a 308 then it would have had the L31 stamp. I am no expert but it looks pretty exciting for you. If it is not a Sandman it is a bloody nice spec van anyway.
