Here is the "valiant" taken at a classic car show in Singapore. RHD too (with a LHD wiper arrangement)

PS: Check out the front emblem in front of the hood

Strange it has a LHD wiper arrangement in a RHD car! Can't tell for sure but looks like the hood emblem says "VALIANT", which I think would be correct for Australia and Canada - US said Plymouth.

Yup, "VALIANT" rather than "PLYMOUTH" badging on Canadian-market and export Barracudas and pre-'67 Valiants, and on all Valiants in Australia (no Barracudas there).

Australian Valiants changed from LHD to RHD wiper configuration in the middle of AP6 (1965) model production, IIRC, and the North American-type bodies with RHD got RHD wipers not later than '68 (I can't find any pics of '67 South African Valiants at the moment, but spot-checked '68, '71, and '72, all with RHD wipers.)
