If you use the broadest terms. They used 4 headlights that were slanted somewhat. Once you get outside of the headlight bucket, you've entered the twilight zone.
I'd have to look at some of the MKIII pics, but I recall they used a set of smaller lights on the inner pair. The tail of the MKIII is more similar to the Kellison, a little longer than the MKI and II. Overall the Kellison is virtually a copy, whereas the Avenger was more of a "feel". That is comparing the 2 cars, I don't consider the Kellison a copy by any means.
Much like Cobras are always mis-identified that's the case with an Avenger, anyone that knows GT40s would never confuse the 2. The Kellison from certain angles may easily be confused with a GT40, but from other angles...no way.
