These are the two in question....



This one was first on the scene....



This one we've had for a few months....



They are both SA 'dust' models, fitted with 'snorkels'.


I have kept a very comprehensive record of the resto, with many photos.
Both were in 'poor' condition when purchased. Particularly the first.

Being South African, they have a 'snorkel' in place of the normal grill behind the rear wheels, so as not to suck in any of the infamous SA dust.
Hence they are known as 'Dust' models, and are rare as such.  :)
