It would have been just something they did in South Africa as they assembled the knock down kits.

They actually got some cool cars in SA that we never did, The 2 door TC Cortina along with the Cortina Backie

Some of the stuff they exported to Thailand and Indonesia were interesting versions. The most being the ****el rotary powered Holden Premier to Japan.
Mazda Roadpacer

I have seen the Roadpacer up close, lot of little differences to what we got, not just the motor

There's a old towie ( Ridleys Towing back in the day ) that is a collector just down the freeway from me that has 1 in his collection along with some other rare stuff, Ridleys motor museum 9 Holden close Bertram if you are in the area
