The modification wasn't done by the factory/dealer. It was usually later in the vehicles life when the original motor wore out and it was cheaper to fit a Holden motor.
There were some very well engineered conversions and some dubious home brewed ones with cross members removed or cut, I've even seen a piece of angle iron welded between the front dumb irons.
I can't comment on the NSW system for historic rego but as it was a period modification and as long as it isn't a significant increase in power then I would have thought that it would be possible to get historic rego. Maybe try and find other people in NSW who have a Holden powered Land Rover and see how they got it registered.
Best of luck,
