They don't look like Holden wheel spats - would be good to see what the mechanisms look like. That way you could sort them into a model group. They seem to look like Vauxhall, but could be Zephyr as well - The mechanisms would identify them as GM or not.

Over at the FB EK forum they have been identified as HD HR Prem. The prems have a chrome trim around the arch which means that the normal spats that were fitted to early Holdens and to standard HD HR's won't fit. These spats fit INSIDE the wheel arch and they have pins which you can see in the photo which go into the wheel arch.

well done fchoon
