They always travel as a foursome - main is the only clear shot for detail and shows a non-police security logo. Granadas have body colour (white) grilles with big slats which suggests Oct 81 facelift, and possibly V/W/Y suffix plates and L rear badge; main has sunroof. However the slatted grille seems too late for tail-lights shown in main at least, so the full selection of cars shown may be more than 2 and cover 79-84. My first impression was that there could be some Cortina Mk5s mixed in as well, but I don't think so now after a few playbacks. Have dumped a Rover pic here as well as not worth a separate page.
