However ep 359 onwards seems to introduce a second car, presumably newer with oval grille badge (Aug 77 change in UK, Aus date not known). Aus GL (and L) had square lights from Dec 78, so the 2nd car likely to be 78.

The grille would have been changed to match the (then) current model - they had a habit of doing this.
