Ep 67 and Ep 335 both look fine for their 1960 and 1961 plate dates (larger orange-over-white front sidelights and additional rear lights) and would be Aus-build MG A 1600 Mk1. Both could share a new page - your choice of which to lead with.

Twin-cam MGAs and all MGA coupes, regardless of engine type, were imported CBU (Completely Built Up)." - http://bmcexperience.com.au/bmce-issue8/mga-in-australia.html . This has early small sidelights, so a coin-toss whether 1956-7 import or 57+ local build.
