For example, in Australia before 1961-1966 local assembling, RHD sedans were exported from Slough at first but later directly from France. Because of lower price.

But Slough builds had much more chrome (bumpers, boot hinges etc) compared to F (stainless steel and/or painted). And there were rear light differences for Slough (round reflectors, black number plate lights) but these changed formats with dates, and I'm not really sure what happened when. The plate AR 8900 is odd - usual EAK format in 60s was Kxx 123 - the only reference to white on black AB 1234 I can find is military, with AF for air force, KA and KB for army and KN for navy. Other government cars were GK with various mixes of letters and numbers, and diplomatic plates were different. So unless this is a fake, it means something with 8899 predecessors, but no idea what.
