As I stated before by the time the XY model arrived Ford Au effectively made the HO an option giving it the same common model code as the XY GT rather than having a stand alone different model code for the HO. This effectively turned a corner and made what was stamped on the compliance plate less significant and the sum of special homologation parts fitted by the manufacturer much more important. Rather than a typo Ford Au may have been making this a point by only stamping Falcon GT on the compliance plate of some early HO3 cars! If we carry this logic over to the 3 XA GTHO race cars what is stamped on an ADR compliance plate, it could be Falcon 500 for all I care!, is of little significance.The manufacturers intent, the purpose they were modified for, the special massaging and homologation parts fitted and the sheer weight of documentation should be what identifies these cars as the 3 Factory Works XA GTHO race cars.
