Looks good from what I can make out. I’ve not found any information about the number stamped on the passenger inner guard, but my theory is it’s some sort of sequential assembly line number, e.g. your car could be the 4861st european based car assembled in 1970. It’s just a theory though.

Interesting thought Jamie, but I've been told before that it had something to do with options fitted to the car! The sequential assembly line number is the last 5 digits of the Chassis ID number, eg., CK17LS15496P, where the 15496 was the 15,496th vehicle assembled at Homebush. These numbers were allocated as they came down the line and were used consecutively for all models at the time, be they Escort, Cortina or Capri. Furthermore, on my old 1971 GT/V6, now resident in Mascot, NSW, it had 429 stamped on the LH inner guard. That's her Chassis number above and she was built in August, 1971.
