It would appear that SC utes have a different sill arrangement to vans & busses.

Also, the rear corners have different shapes.

Does this mean that readily avail kombi parts are not suitable?

George,

They are the same profile - just shorter in length. So you can cut down a 'bus' inner rocker, inner strengthener (which strengthens the outer rocker) and outer rocker panel.

You do have to modify the latch plate on the outer panel - its best to by the ones without the full latch installed cos you just have to remove it anyway.

Rear corners are different - different shape and they have vents too.
