The 1965 grid at Levin...

The order is not Hill, McLaren and Clark, rather it's McLaren, Hill and Clark. Behind them are Palmer, Gardner and (largely obscured) Lex Davison.

Ross, that STP car in the pits at Levin is the Chris Amon March 701 that he was soon to swap for the Lotus 70 that David Oxton had driven at Levin that day.

GM would have been in the black McLaren M10B that he went onto win the 71 Tasman title in.

Ray, You are correct with the order of the cars on the grid.

Can you name the gents standing behind the BRM? Kerry Grant ?, Doug Lawrence?

Michael, Thanks for the correction re the STP car. Yes it is Chris's March in 1971.
A bit confusing that McRae drove an STP car in 1972, and won.
