Are those English seats and door cars, or are they unique to South Africa?

Somewhere on the net I found a road test of one of these...

south african cars had their own interior, different from both europe/uk/aus/nz. They even made a matching suitcase-collection for the mk2 that fitted in the boot (optional extras).
