Default AU and BA Bodies?

Hey guys i was just curious about the trays on AU and BA Utes.
They look really similar from behind though the BA seems like it has a lower Rear bumper? Could it be possible to swap bumpers and things with an au ute?

The tubs and bumpers are interchangable from AU through to BF. The lights are too, the only difference being that the AU utes have the reverse light in the rear bumper, whereas the BA has it as part of the main taillights.

....and they moved the badges around.

Yes, it should all fit as described by b2tf.

Some early BA's had the AU set though.

Oh right! so instead of buying parts for an AU itd probably be easier to just go with a BA or BF then ?

The light globes and sockets are differnet between AU and early BA and the later model stuff as well.
Those bits dont interchange. New loom required.
