The Datsun B10 model line was marketed as the "Datsun 1000", starting in 1966. This was the very first Datsun Sunny. Variations included KB10 (Coupe), VB10 Wagon and B20 (truck). KB10's were introduced in Japan as the 1969 model Sunny Coupe in October 1968, & this '69 model was made untill June 1969. The 1970 model was introduced in Japan from July 1969 &, according to the info I have, manufacture ended in December 1969.
Australia didn't see the Datsun 1000 Coupe version of the KB10 untill sometime in the first half of '69 &, of course, cars still held in stock were still being sold well into 1970 & possibly even into 1971.
The only info I have on the model year is the chassis bumber KB10-080,001. From this number & upward, they were '1970 models' while anything under this number is a '1969 model' regardless of when they were actually constructed.
In Thailand, there was an assembly line where 2Dr, 4Dr and VB10 were built.
The Datsun 1000 community is still alive and well in Japan:

Export Results
This table is Record of Sunny 1000 - Export Results from the book Nissan Information, Datsun Sunny 1200 by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (1970).
- The first column is Year. Showa 41 is 1967. Notice that '44' (1970) only includes the first 11 months -- is that because B10 production stopped then or because the book was published before the full-year results were available?
- The last column is Total
- The last row (purple row) is Grand Totals
