Just a Dash

Following on from David Herbert's post, 9th photo down on this site:

Looks the same as your second photo. Two dash panels the same suggests this was an authorised mod. Could this be an interim modification to use up earlier dash panels when the later instruments started coming into use? Or a later field mod to replace damaged instruments from an earlier (civvy style) dash?

Then again, could a shipment of the civvy instruments have been lost on it's way to Australia? i.e. plenty of dash panels, but no instruments?

Here comes another MLU diversion from original topic -
In the photos shown at the link referenced by Owen there is a photo of the horn bracket mounted on the passenger side toe plate. Is this an Australian production variation or bush engineering? I'm more used to seeing them on the intake manifold (or wherever was convenient when a later engine without the lug on the manifold was substituted).
