Hi Baumy,
Firstly welcome to the ODK Forums, you're certainly in good hands here.
Anyway another Adelaide example of a nice Model 45. I will probably have to correct you in saying that it was more likely that it was purchased sometime in 1975.
Yours is in that period when they changed the ID plate to two plates for a short period of time, the last of the Brass plaques and the introduction of the Ally plates until they put both lots of numbers onto one single Ally plate, also it sports the black coloured Handle bar Shield and chain case cover which were eliminated around the end of 1976 when a whole new colour change was introduced across the range.
I see yours to be a rather straight forward restoration with it being more of a cosmetic resto than a mechanical one as your components all look rather good apart from a reel grind and a bed knife replacement.
Cheers,
BB.
