is a 62 Australian Valiant an A body?

I need info for a customer. Will the LC arms from a later A body (67-72) fit a 62 Valiant Australian model?
I;ve been told the later LCAs will work on 63-66 A bodies but weren't very early Darts and Valiants considered B bodies? Thanks for any info that you can offer! I really don't know much about the early stuff.

Greg the Aussie is either an R or S series-- cannot remember which is which but those coincide with our 61 & 62 valiants- 61 has different suspension parts than the 62 -- which is the same as 63-66 cars, Lawrence

I am just not willing to say the 62 Aussie Valiant takes the same lca even though it might be like our cars.

Thanks guys..I really appreciate it. Shipping to Australia is more than the parts cost. I don't want to have to pay to return them based on the wrong info.

Hollander shows the 62 American Valiant to be the same lca as the pre73 A-body. I looked it up without a sway bar tab.

Dart was a B body in the early years.

The 'R' Series aussie Valiants had different LCA's to the 'S' Series.
The 'R' Series were actually '61 model Valiants.
I'm going to fit 1980 CM model Valiant (aussie) LCA's to my 62 'S' series....they have the swaybar mounting, and are reinforced a little.
