It's a 6cyl HQ Belmont van. All tags look fine, and all from Pagewood plant. Very unusual though to see a HQ van outside of a 308 Sandman to have all 3 x ENG, TRANS and RRAXLE codes filled in. This one has optional components in all three ie 202, trimatic and 3.36:1 banjo.
If it was a Sandman it'd be the earliest Pagewood example recored so far. I have plenty of earlier 1974 model vans though. Plus 1 x 1/74 HQ L31 Sandman from Acacia Ridge and a possible 12/73 pilot from the same plant with the same build configuration.
