I have seen this subject miss guided time after time on facebook. So I thought why not have it posted somewhere I can just link people to.
If you believe I have something wrong please let me know. I don't believe it to be incorrect though!
Or if there is something you think is worth adding.

Edit:
XX7 and XU3 are the option codes given to all sandman's. Brisbane stamped onto tags. Other plants did not.
This code gave the non sandman van or ute the "sandman package"
Only difference between XX7 and XU3 is the option of passenger vehicle tyres. This excludes all pre 10/75 Sandman's. As it was not an option on all these models. All prior 10/75 models were option code XX7.
XX7 upto 9/75 - Sandman Package normal commercial tyres
XX7 from 10/75 - Sandman Package passenger tyres
XU3 - Sandman Package normal commercial tyres
XU4 is a non sandman packaged van or ute. But it was fitted with passenger tyres. So therefore has a derated GVW/GVM.
