indeed you are correct, there were many different configurations for the 40, 42 and petrol variants in the different countries they were sent to, and i can only speak to the ones i have seen in aus. Although indeed i have never seen a dash mounted glow setup from factory. Although i have seen some transitional 47 series utilising parts from ealier variants, namely the in-dash coil which is the same system as used on my '79 40 as in the 42 pic from henry james the 47th. Note also this pic does not appear to have anything in the hole under the warning lights, other than a rubber plug.
For the 42 and petrol 40, they progressed to the later model dash with the scew-in console and foam dash mount, although i had a 81 fj40 troopy with the old style dash and foam mount, but my 81 hj47 has all of the features current with the later models, so im thinking they didnt waste too many parts just because they were an older style.
Good pick up henry james
