I’m certainly no expert but Canadian Pontiac’s had Chevy floor pans. Quarter panels were shorter than American cars, front fenders were shorter. Basically a Chevy with Pontiac styling. You can really see the differences in 55-56-57 models

So my 1961 Pontiac Perisisian bubble top was 348 and 4 sp from the factory. NONE of tge US cars front sheelmetal would fit. Some had modified but I could not swap on 1961 southern US sheetmetal. Quarters were also different.
Not sure about bumps, glass was the same and I think doors and trunk could swap.

My dad also had a RHD '63 Bel Air that was assembled down here in the General Motors assembly plant here in NZ from knocked-down-kits from Canada.
They shared the same Chevy dash board, his '66 Pontiac Laurentian had a '65 Bel Air dash. Because of import restrictions here in the 50s and 60s Pontiacs and Chevrolet were imported in kits and the shared the same drive trains and interiors. We also had a Ford plant that did a similar thing through the 50s and 60s with the Fairlane. My dad had a '60 RHD Fairlane.
