they look identical because they are xc flutes, he would have had an xc bonnet cut up and the flutes welded into the commodore bonnet. I have seen quite a few cars with this done. They look better on the ford imho.

Yes they are.
First pic is original GS bonnet, second pic is probably a fibreglass skin.

There is a bit of room on the right hand side and a bit to the back to fit some more 'scoops & fibreglass' on! Bit understated I rekon.

Those scoops belong on two models.

XB and XC, that's it!
