Yes it is. The XX7 stamped in the corner confirms the plates are from a Sandman.
Check that the chassis number matches the plates - AHX04563

yep it does
can you tell me what all the different codes mean at all?

also what colour would the sandman stripes have been??

It is a HX Sandman van built and assembled in the Acacia Ridge (QLD) plants.

1894 is Antelope Metallic paint
60A is Chamois/Black (probably the nicest late HJ and HX trim)
L31 is 308
M21 is 4spd
GV4 is 3.36.

Rest is self explanatory or just identification numbers.

Wow, thats a good find.

Use Leroys site to have a look at the colours but it doesnt have the sickers on it.

yeah its still the original colour but it has been resprayed at some time and im just wondering if it should have the stickers on it when it was original and what colour they may have been???

[HK1837]

Orange/Brown/Dark Brown for 1894. You could option to delete them too which some were.
