1930 -733 battery location

Just popping in

Gday: hoping I can get some advice (or better still a photo) . Looking to confirm the battery location on a Right Hand drive , 6 wheel equiped 1930 -733 sedan.

I have a right hand side mudguard with a spare wheel well, and no battery box opening

I have a left hand side mudguard with no wheel well but with a battery box opening ( I am presuming this is off a RH drive , with a rear mounted spare ).

Am I correct that on a Right hand drive six wheel equiped 733 the left side mudguard should have both the wheel well and the battery box opening ?

Cheers
Warwick

I would think it on the same side as left hand drive since the starter an distributor are the left side.

The problem is that the steering column would then be in the way of the cables coming into the engine compartment.
