Default is that an XB?

It looks more like a Javelin to me.

Definatly not, the rear repeater lens is horisontal, not vert, and the guards dont have the scallop line around the wheel arch, rear window is a little too raked, more likely a chevelle or something similar

I think it's an early 70's nova which is very similar. The slope of the c pillar just isn't quite right foe an xb, no vent visible, but still hard to make out. It also appears in another photo a bit further down which shows it's not an xb.

I think you are right but the nova's and a few other US cars looked simular in that period.
A couple of pics 1 of my old mates ex 70 402BB SS Chevelle and a picture I had taken in 1998 of a 73 440BB plymouth roadrunner in a wrecker yard in Grants New Mexico for $800 US dollars.

No its no XB. But dont be surprisedes to see more than a few XA-B-Cs stateside the Aussie Tudor Coupes have become a sought after collectors item.
