Main plate
I don't have any info on the smaller Holden plates but the WO number on your dash data plate should reveal what rear body was fitted when new.

WO number
The large plate should have a WO number such as WO12 or WO52 and so on. It's not necessarily next to body.

Wo72
Unfortunately WO72 is one I don't have details for. I have one example listed:
WO72 Chassis 2844470016P Engine WR38601173 This tells us it is a C15A assembled in Perth but nothing more. WO71 we know was GS Personnel on a C60L chassis and WO73 was the C15 version of the wireless signals. Possibly it had a version of the No2A Aust steel box body adapted for a special use such as office. Hopefully the gaps in the knowledge will be filled in one day.
