Its not real early. I'd guess late 1963. I have 115139 from January '61 and 281099 from around January '62 and production numbers were ramping up at that time.

It would be a very late fully imported 850 motor, it is a higher number than any on my list. It would have probably come from a car around the 40,000 mark.
I guess somewhere around the March to May 1964 era.

My Jan 65 Traveller is 8AMUH883781 and the heritage certificate confirms its original.

Brett's and mine are UK production dates. I'd guess that an Australian car would be 3 or 4 months later than the UK dates.
