Built in ZA. I think there were Opel and Chevrolet badged versions?

I drove such a car in Zaire, now Congo in 1983. It's a Opel produced in RSA with Chevrolet badge.

Far away enough from the D-Rekord (engine, front, the interior probably, too, that "origin ZA" woulde be appropriate.

The 2500 has the same front including the headlights, except for the bonnet.

Wikipedia: "In South Africa 1973 saw the introduction of the Chevrolet 2500, the Chevrolet 3800 and the Chevrolet 4100. The engines were indeed sourced from Chevrolet, but the cars were otherwise locally produced versions of the Opel Rekord D from which, apart from in respect of the engines, they differed very little."

Said to have been unveiled in 1972, in other websites. Already noted as 1972 model in IMCDb, at least for one of the three vehicles :D
