I've discussed this before but just wanted to know what front & rear brand of screen was factory fitted to 5/72 Adelaide LJ's. Armourglas is fitted to side windows of my car but what were the options for the front as I have 'Armourfloat' front and rear. What is armourfloat? front is obviously 1974 but rear is 72 (see photos)

Sreenshot from ACI Pilkington website.

What I believe is the original fitment rear screen in my 4/73 Brisbane LJ is also branded Armourfloat.

Thanks Dave. I was only curious because the side windows are Armourglas but the front and rears are Armourfloat. Thought maybe the front & rears had been replaced but rear looks to be 72 and front 74 so obviously the front was replaced some time in or after 74.

I recently looked at a very original 8/72 Adelaide built LJ XU-1. Both the front and rear screens were dated 3rd Quarter 1972. The front screen was armourfloat, the rear was armourglas.......
