                I think in a Holden there is only:
 EH - these are rear pan with a step in the middle and shallow at the front. The sump plug is in the middle at the rear of the fan facing backwards
 HD-HR - these have the pan about 1/3 of the way forward with the bit at the rear deeper than the front. If you put them on their side with the balancer end on the ground they look like a 1. The sump plug is in the middle facing backwards.
 HK-HG - these are similar to HD-HR but have a step between the pan and the rear. The sump plug is in the base of the pan off to one side.
 HQ-WB - these are rear pan but the pan is slightly forward with teh sump plug in the base off to one side like a HK-HG.
 
 On top of those there is LC-LJ Torana and VB-VK Commodore:
 
 LC-LJ has the pan right at the rear with a slope on the back part of the base, the sump plug is in the middle at the rear of the flat base.
 VB-VK has the pan right at the front.
 
 LH-UC is the same as HQ-WB.
 
 I can't remember exactly what CF Bedford had, but it is either HQ-WB or possibly EH.
 
 I don't have any to take photos of unfortunately, everything I had in Holden 6 went to scrap metal when I moved. From memory there was at least 3 tonnes of Holden 6 and 253 stuff when I dumped it!
