1937 on A7 Ruby. I drove one of those to school in the 1960s.

1937 and sloping pillars = New Ruby [ARR]. No info found to suggest NZ assembly.

I guess because there was a complex range of Austin models it was easier to bring them in fully assembled. Local assembly of US cars was much simpler - usually only one or two body styles per make assembled locally and others to special order. I think Austin assembly only began post WW2.

There's enough established references to Aus importing UK chassis for local bodywork by several firms (including amongst others Holden) to suggest any NZ assembly would be flagged up somewhere if it had occurred.

Worth remembering that the NZ and Australian assembly industries were completely unrelated - mainly due to different tariff regimes.
