yours just looks like an aus 69 that someones fitted early bumpers and gaurds to
fairly unlikely to be an import

The compliance plate under the front is the most reliable way... imported cars the plate is in German for pretty much everything and have a heading of Volkswagenwerke AG... Australian built cars the compliance plate is all in English and say (from memory) Volkswagen Australia.
