The A at the start of the chassis number denotes the first production run of that particular model under the ADRs. At the first ADR update during the HZ model run the chassis number would then become BHZxxxxxx. The number on that van is correct for an early build HZ and this is shown by the date on the same tag of 12/77, only the third month of HZ production, the chassis and body numbers both end in B for a Brisbane built car and XX7 is stamped on the body plate which is all correct for a Brisbane built Sandman.
