It's definately an EBII. Early EBIIs didn't get smartlock. Also, I drive an EAII but my build plate says EA Falcon, so I'd say it's the same for EBII. The biggest giveaway is the 4.0 litre. EB series 1s got the 3.9

Its proberly a transition model... My old NC had all the series 2 bits, but didn't have smartlock.
Smartlock wasn't actually introduced at the same time as series 2, it was a few months before it was introduced. Actually, being an 8/92, it would be a series 2... the NC was built before yours and was an early series 2.

There was a transition phase however if its a 4.0l its EB2. At the end of the transition all EB's ended up with a centre 3 point seatbelt in the rear however the early EB2's didn't.
I had an EB2 V8 and it didn't have the 3 point centre seatbelt.

From memory EB II was launched around March 1992, the Smartlock update came around September '92, and the lap/sash rear belt was fitted from early '93.

EB2 also had a smooth finish dark grey plastic for the exterior door handles and the windscreen wipers were recessed a little, EB1 had a raised plastic bonnet to windscreen shroud.
