You will notice that the Australian assembled cars didn't have the "vents" in the Windscreen moldings, while the NZ car does. that is because no Heaters or Demisters were available in cars assembled in Australia. All of these RHD models use the equivalent Ford or Mercury 1941 Style Dash.
It also looks like the quarter light window divider bar n the Aussie cars roll down with the window glass while the NZ bar was fixed.
