This picture would have been taken about the same time, I can't detect any roof stripes on Southern comfort. Also, not sure about the roof profile being the same, having said that, I can't remember another car with a similar build.

Bingo, another of your pictures Dave and we can just see the lines at the front of the car
well done guys, the lower pic is from '73 and the top pic '74 which is when Junior Comp Alt was first run hence the different race numbers. I reckon Southern Comfort had Castrol sponsorship in '73 then lost it in '74 and they took the stripes and Castrol stickers off...
