I am 99% sure that they did not offer the sandman package on a Kingswood ute, Belmont only.
But tyhe only way to identify a sandman is by the compliance pate with the GVM or on the Body plate of Brisbane built cars.
See the sandman site for a

Do these tags have an XX7 stamped on the body ID plate? Being an Adelaide car (or sydney) they should not. I would suspect that these plates are off an optioned up kingo van as kingos could be optioned with 2 seats. (Belmonts could not from my know

Holden made sandman utes and vans sixes & eights. It was not a kingswood or belmont it was a sandman. Check your tyre placard on the g-box if it was made with sedan type tyers vs commercial type it was a sandy

The amount of available factory info on early Sandmans is not great.
I tend to agree with Warren here, in that I have never seen a Kingswood Sandman in the flesh.
However, the HQ Sandman brochure shows a Sandman van with Belmont
