Yes, there are a few differences between year models in Australia and other markets, and it does seem also there are cases when vehicles have later or older parts that the actual build date reflects. I know of a 1974 that has the fuel filler flap at the back like a 73 cross over but every other part seems early 1974 (1600 engine), and another (in the same colour) that has the expected 1974 set up (1800) with the earlier steering column and then mine which is a little later in 1974 (was 1800) but has the 1975 wiring additions, and the later steering column. (all are kombi transporters too, not Microbuses although I have heard that microbuses in Australia had the same body part imported and then the addition parts added to order on shore in assembly)
