Chris, Bob,

I'm no authority on the matter, but consulted with my father, who's had Volvo's for most of his driving life.

PV's were imported from Sweden to SA through the Lawson Motor Group as agents.
Lawson's obtained the first rights to sell Volvo trucks in 1951. A Volvo manufacturing plant was subsequently established in Durban, starting with the 122's and then 144's

The PV's were all in left hand drive configuration, having been imported. (South African cars are RHD)

The double shock front was available on "Sport" models only.
The "shock mounting bolt mod" had to be performed after the disc brake conversion to prevent interference when steering.

I'll ask my Dad to take a pic or two of the double shocks and then post them up here.

Best wishes,
J.J.
