Three Blitz trip

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.

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.
