the cars listed by dodgeman may all have H165 "diff centres" ..... but the "diff housing" they are installed into are not going to fit into a 1200 sedan due to the varying widths of the vehicle they came of. the best you can do is measure the widths and hopefully find one close to the width of the 1200 housing

unfortunately H165 diffs are virtually extinct here in WA
What blofly asked about was the diff [differential], not the rear axle assembly which is quite different. Sorry if I got it wrong.
The only real bolt-in H165 rear axle assembly will be the 1200 ute one. Everything else will really need to be narrowed unless those somewhat unatractive 'front drive offset' wheels are used & even then, there may well be clearance issues.
These H165 rear ends were originally intended for the larger L series powered vehicles & small truck models, but proved to be a very convenient, ready made upgrade for the ute. All that was required was for the vendor to adjust the jigs for the new narrower width to suit the 1200.
Finding the ute rear end will be worth the time, effort, & money in the long run
