Felicia the XX7 is the designated GMH code for the Special Vehicle Options Package as is XU3 in relation to Sandman.
There are many others for other models and series e.g;

XW5 - Outback Equipment Pkg
XX3 - New Zealand Vehicle Pkg
XX4 - Thailand Vehicle Pkg

You are right that XX7 and XU3 were only stamped at the Brisbane plant, but the Sandman was not exclusively made at Brisbane, they were made at other plants as well although not stamped XX7 or XU3 this does cause some confusion and would have been easier if GMH stamped XX7 and XU3 at all plants for the Sandman.

There are shysters out there that would 'dress up' a van/ute to appear as a legitimate Sandman and a community like we have here should be educated and vigilant
