I have some leads on hideaway grille from GPs. Will the hardware and grille fit straight into my 68 Parisienne (RHD Export vehicle) Any advice will be greatly appreciated before I spend the money and shipping all the way to Australia

Here is a reference mentioning a Cdn. car with US hideaways
Ads from Outside the United States appeared in magazines from various countries around the world. The most common countries in which to find these ads are Canada and Australia.
OUS ads are usually printed in the dominate language of the country in which they appear. Canadian ads can be found in two versions, English and French, with the French variants most commonly found in the Eastern Provinces.
The 1968 GM of Canada Pontiac offerings included: Grande Parisienne (featuring the U.S. Grand Prix's hideaway headlight grille, but not its unique tail light panel and trunk lid),
the sporty Parisienne 2+2, the large full-size Parisienne, the mid level Laurentian, and the base Strato-chief.
The other line built exclusively in Oshawa, CAN was the A-body Beaumont. Based on the Chevy Chevelle body shell, this Canadian hybrid featured, as did the full-size models, all-Chevrolet drivetrains.
The Acadian, based on the Chevrolet Chevy II Nova, production was moved to the Willow Run assembly plant in Ypsilanti, MI this year.
The lone U.S. Pontiac model to be marketed and sold in Canada this year was the U.S.-built Firebird line.
Canadian Pontiac domestic & export production total: 53,997 (calender year)
