I'd be very surprised if local build happened for VdPs, so imported. My ADO16 bible describes NZ ADO16 builds for Austin, Morris, Riley, MG and Wolseley but does not mention VdP. VdP exports were fairly strong in first few years until 1969, but only 36 were exported in 1970 and then only 8 during 1971-74 before production ended June 74. So Mk1 much more likely here than Mk3.
