There is no such thing as an RHD Bonneville, right? All RHD Pontiacs were built on Canadian chassis?
Correct! Notice the brake booster still on the left hand side of the firewall. Only parisiennes and laurentians were available factory as CKD imports. Built using mandatory amount of australian content.

Factory would have the master cylinder switched to the right side wouldn't it?
Discussed on the site years ago - http://canadianponcho.activeboard.com/t46735813/1963-bonneville-factory-rhd-conversion/
a new firewall stamping was installed at GMH which had all RHD holes for accessories, booster etc. this usually deleted AC and they fitted a hokey heater and fan on the LHS. Many parts from LHD did not fit RHD.
Eg for my car I used a standard floor shift column I scored off a mate. I had to modify a column indicator blanking plate slightly as the column was offset to the right and the blanking plate was for a LH column position which angled to the left...not a perfect fit but very passable

Something else is funny there. How can it have Chevy rally wheels on it? Don't the US full size Pontiacs use 5 on 5 wheels? Those wheels on that car should be 5 on 4.75".

Hard to know what they did to these cars when they were privately converted....

Old Canadian Poncho site joke in the car description:
" This car features all original glass, including 3 of the 4 T-3headlights."

Carl your right again, on the wheels, only thing I can think of is "truck rally wheels" or maybe full size Station wagon had a 5x5 pattern ?????

I am told a SD would have had 2 4 barrels, that looks like a tri power. Best way to tell is the numbers.

S/D had 2 carter AFB's guess if you 'slap" on a couple of fender emblems it becomes a 421 S/D Tri power??
I have read they came out with a factory version in 1963 available in dual or tri carb option. if it was a factory super duty might be a reasonable buy.....maybe?

I think that is right, but the tripower wasn't a Super Duty. (or I could be wrong...)
