Still confused................

Happy to concede that part of that is correct from my viewpoint - my Dad's truck was an original LR six and still has its' original grille as described (same also as the photo submitted by JackM). This is basically the same pattern as that which was fitted to my old 69 2A SWB 4 cylinder (other than not having an indented section to allow for the narrower headlight alignment).
Problem remains for me is that both Wozapinin and JackM have also posted photos of what I understand to be 4 cylinder 2As with the same grille as my Dad's, but without the 6 cylinder badge. This is definitely a different pattern to the one that is in the photo that Shonky posted way back when this started. I note that JackM's truck appears to be a military restoration which might mean something, and Wozapinin did not specifically mention if his vehicle was 4 cylinder model.
Whatever, my best conclusion from all of this is that the 4 cylinder 2A `wide-light' models that were assembled and sold in Australia `may or may not' have had the same grille as the 6 cylinder 2As also assembled and sold in Australia.
Good luck to whoever asked the question in the first place.
