Just for interest, the funny shape CMP vent is "trapezoid". And of course, the rectangular vent was only on Australian built Chev cabs.

Extra note on that Canadian cab Chevs have trapezoid vents. They do pop up in OZ but not too many. Most commonly on C8AX

Not sure if this detail transferred to the CMP's down under, but here in Canada, the side mirror mountings are also different between Ford and Chevrolet. Ford mirror assemblies were mounted directly to the cab, just below and forward of the upper door hinge. As a result, the door could sometimes swing completely forward and knock the mirror out of alignment.
On the Chevrolet, the mirror assembly was mounted directly to the upper door hinge, so that the mirror moved with the door. David |

Yes, they're the same here.
Local Holden built Chevs also had different windscreen frames with a rounded profile which was a lot more rust prone than the Canadian design. They also had two diecast catches either side to keep them closed. These are the same as the quarter vent catches on the early Holden cars. Quote:
