Default VE Commodore Front Structure

AKA “Asking for a Friend, V2.0”
(Different friend, but also uninsured, his “Sunday car” mint VE Calais - driving it while the locksmiths repaired his work van’s steering lock!)
It looks like the offside rail is fine, the nearside maybe pushed down 5-6mm at the end.

So he’ll need this (clipped from Dumbtree):
Is a Calais bonnet different? What about the headlights?

How does the pictured front clip fix to the rails - are there sacrificial spars? Or do the rail ends crush and need sectional repair?

Any other comments about stuff that’s a repair “gotcha” from this generation of Commodore, would be appreciated.
