Auction says "passed in", I guess that is Australian for "withdrawn"?
I'm not sure where the LHD reference came from, the registry shows this car as only RHD? The center console is probably correct, the heater controls and handbrake location didn't change until late 9200 numbers.
That all said given the write up it is very possible this car came into Australia new as a LHD roller and was immediately converted by Metro Cars Pty.
