Good find.

Interesting that the American body has a solid roof while the Australian body has the insert style. I never knew that before.

Even in USA Chevrolet was the only one to have the solid roof. The Dodge and Ford equivalent had fabric inserts like that Australian body in the photo.

I read somewhere that General Motors were blowing their trumpet in the mid-thirties because they were the only ones who had presses capable of stamping out an entire one-piece steel roof for cars.
