Has anyone ever seen one this early and with the stamps in this format?

I found this at a swap meet this morning.

21/10/67 is after the initial 13 x HK Elizabeth pilots (Sales/promotion, reliability etc). But it is before all of the rest of the 69 or so pilots across the 5 x Assembly Plants.

Can I get a photo of it?

8M7 might be for the regular production HK though.

I went back and had a better look. These are the HK Pilots, note some will be restricted production built whilst HR still being assembled. All of the Sales Promotion cars are in this lot (brochure cars), and there is all of the Press test cars that come straight after most of these. Photo down below will be a few of these pilots at Lang Lang, potentially those with VIC reg are the Dandenong built cars.
