Lightbulb Look Alikes

Okay I'm a newbie to all this and bow to the educated, am I wrong (I know you will tell me) but that photo looks a hell of a lot like my Chev Portee when I dragged it out of a paddock, (The windscreen, headlights on the gaurds, no real doors and space for the outrigger thingies that I have.

You are right, they do look the same.
The easiest way to pick a (#12) Ford Vs Chev I find is the vent covers. The Chevs are round & covered with a mesh. The Ford has a fluted (is that a word?) square cover over theirs.
I aldo notice yours has tow "D"'s on the bumper, where my tow hooks are eyelets mounted to the chassis upward & rear of the bumper (obscured in pic).
The nudge bar mounted to the bumper (mine missing) is wider on a Chev than a Ford.
Mine is supposed to have doors. The LH door is still mounted, the hinges are broken off the RH side & door long gone.

Point for Hanno, Keefy, Jiff etc... I thought a portee was supposed to have the original cab back panel??? Rookie's doesnt!
