Those taillights look like either mk1 cortina or xr falcon, the swap between the two was popular as they were interchangeable with only a slight difference.
My money is on xr

Thanks for the warm welcome Guys,  (hey there Ben, I'll work out how to email you direct....)       you're right about the Ford tail lights, I'll get a positive I.D. for you asap. What inspires me is the fact that this van has had the same owner for the last twenty years, it's a daily driver / work van, 202 red, trimatic, 10 bolt diff, HX front discs, gas / petrol...pretty simple really....I've got some more photos, probably should start an album so you guys can view the details.....is there a preferred file extension and image size when posting an album ?....(possibly obvious when I get there).......in the mean time here is the dash.....

Hey Guys, checked with owner...tail lights are possibly XR ford, but it's all too long ago and who can remember what they did yesterday ?......I reckon you're on to it with the FB dash....I'll get my act together on the photo album.....
