They were both built side by side at GMH's Dandenong facility.
They are both Holden's. Sticking a different badge or even a compliance build tag doesn't change a thing.
I don't get confused with Ford stickers on Mazdas or Toyota badges on Holdens etc. They are what they are.

Happens outside of the auto industry also. Camera lenses are something I know. Samyang makes lenses and they get rebadge into dozens of names. But they are all Samyang's.

A Monaro badged as a Pontiac GTO is still a Holden Monaro with a nose change. It's just a little disguise for the US market and doesn't fool this Australian into believing it a Pontiac.
As much as if Holden were to place a Monaro badge on an imported Camaro wouldn't confuse a Yank into thinking it was a different car (actually it just might confuse some Yanks).

Badge sharing is one thing, actually forced and imposed by Australian government at one stage. Improving/modifying a production Holden doesn't make it a different make.
