As HK1837 has said, the chrome bits & matching hubcaps came as part of the optional XY7 'appearance package'.
HQ front seats without headrests, to my knowledge were only seen in 1971, the headrests (actually head restraints) became mandatory due to ADR22 for 1972 onwards.
The metallic 'HOLDEN' decal on the rear of the chassis was there since day 1. Its part no. was 2823499, which is a 1971 era number. The decal changed to part no. 92009543 for some reason, around late HZ, because it didn't change in appearance.
