Always great to spot a H series.
Common in the day to swap the front headlight panel and radiator support to giving those models the classy look of a Premier or Statesman with the twin 5 3/4in headlights, polished headlight surrounds and grilles. A step further was to add the under bumper lower grille of the Statesman and optional bumperettes. To be real flash additionally changing the guards to GTS fluted ones.

Very hard to distinguish the different between HJ - HZ, HQ, easy to spot.
How did you know it was a HZ if the front panels were changed. Badge placement ?
HZ guard badge below the belt line (block capitals) HX above (running script) HJ none.

The six wheeler spotted last year in Wang, saw yesterday on a trailer in Albury hope someone is restoring it.
