Probably February/March 1960.

Here it is:
Note the upside down SA stamped in the inner wing as well as the SA (very faded) chassis plate where one can just about make out the number 678.

I reckon 8AM.U.H314352 is from around March 1962 and 8MB.U.H23871 from Feb/March 1960 so about the same age as the car.
