Yes they are the same car, it is the car I had 20 years ago, it is now in Victoria, painted in white and orange livery.

I believed it was the car used by Yoshio Iwashita in the 1976 and 1977 Southern Cross rallies, since then the body number has been checked with the Zama Museum a few years ago, it's sad to say that the special little car is definitely not the Iwashita car. The Iwashita car was taken back to Japan and dismantled after a heavy roll over.

This car appears to have been built from a private import used in the 1977 Southern Cross.

Where the cars are

#5 Mehta - currently under restoration in Australia - Oppama/Nissan Motor Works prepared (LZ14)
#14 Iwashita - Shipped back to Japan and dismantled - Oppama/Nissan Motor Works prepared (LZ14)
#56 Nakamoto - Shipped back to Japan - Privately prepared.(L16?)

The location of these cars has been checked with the crews and the Nissan prepared cars have been identified,

The one you missed is #73 Tasunoda/Aoyama, (L16?) it appears on the entry list as a Datsun 1600, but photographic evidence has it as a PB210. It is the only one of the 1977 PB210s still unaccounted for.

After a bit more looking the Nakamoto car returned again in 1978, and once again left the country.
