I have a 28/9/93 VR V8 Manual Executive Commodore fitted with FE2, ABS, sump guard, fuel tank guard and a large fuel tank. I suspect it to be an ex-police car but it doesnt have BT1 on the body tag; it does however have HOLDEN VR P/CAR on the VIN tag. Am I correct to assume that it is an ex-police car?

Body Tag
Model: VR8VK19-125

VIN Tag
VIN: 6H8VRK19URL6679##

I doubt that its an ex-Police car. A 125 pack is just a V8 Manual Executive & V8s get the large fuel tank as standard. FE2, ABS, sump & fuel tank guards are common options for country cars (as is a manual behind a V8).

If it was a BT1 police car it would have the calibrated speedo, Calais dome light etc.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0

Awesome, thanks for that doc. Do you know what P/CAR means on the VIN tag?

P/car is passenger car.

If it was a police "special" it would have BT1 instead of 125

Holden used model option codes for model extensions, when fited, in those days.
