There is also an HF1A with electric actuator? That is what I have... right?
And also variations with a shifter on the top, in-line with the transmission shifter and one with the shifter to the right of the Trans shifter (like in the FJ40/60 series layout) Right?

Me, either, but I'd hate to polish my tarnished reputation with a tech thread.
The top plates on 80/100 specific H151Fs (yours) and the 7X (mine) are definently different, which I'm glad to have seen your pics to finally confirm, although I'd already assume when placing the current order they're filling with 80 variants.
Another interesting item noted by your pics is the bosses for the manual, non electric, HF1A shifter on the side of your H151F housing. I didn't think that'd be the case on the 80/100 variants since they're were very few equipped without the electric HF1A (yours), limited to only the true poverty pack "base" models in Oz and the Middle East.
Anyhow, we junked up your thread, which maintains the tarnished image I work so hard for on Mud, enough.
I'll gladly delete these diversionary posts at your request or a mod may on my behalf, as they see fit.

Yes... it HAS been over 5 YEARS since I made any significant progress on this project. I did do a good amount of tear down of the LV in preparation for any body work and prime/paint but otherwise... nada, until just recently.
Tear down
The big news (for me anyway) is that I have made some progress on what had become the roadblock in this project for me: the 2UZ.
Tonight I finished up working out/hooking up the Spitronics harness and associated basic wiring to a universal/test ignition switch and battery and turned over the engine for the first time since I've had it. I know this should be a non-event but for me this is a big deal.
Once I get fuel to it it'll be time to try a first start... parts are on the way so stay tuned.

Congratulations and hope it starts for you. I too hope to be back on my LV soon. I am getting close to completing the project that was keeping me from the LV.
. I'm enjoying the process and slowly, slowly it's coming back to life.I feel for you...not having a garage is really tough. I have to be very creative with my space and my friends can't figure out how I get anything done with the garage being so packed. You will find a way....just know it's a marathon and enjoy the journey.

How about one of those tarp tent kits from Northern Tool or similar?

I can't even find my lv build thread! This gives me hope, hope of starting on mine again.

Mark, I noticed your hatch seems to have some significant rot. I've got one in real good shape. It's yours if you want it.
