Default Auiii lwb?

Another member on here recently suggested that there were no Fairlanes or LTD's plated as AUIII models.

I have a copy from a book that a dealer had which includes all makes and models of cars and in the Fairlane section it shows this :-
Jul 02 : AUII models replaced by the AUIII range

and it also says
Jul 02 : AUIII upgrade includes - 6 way power adjustment on the passenger seat, upgraded door trims

I am not challenging the other members claim. He in fact has a Jul 02 build LTD that is plated AUII so this contradicts what is in the book.

I was in a Ford dealership second hand car yard the other day and asked the salesman (who had been Ford yards since pre AU days) and he said he had never seen a AUIII LWB sedan

So the question is "has anyone seen or definately know of a AUIII LWB sedan" or have any other info that is relevant to the model.

If such a car exists I would like to know the Model number from the build plate
