Something I've wondered for a little while, are they the same car? They look virtually identical to me and they both ran from 1979-1984.
Are they the same car or are there differences? And if so what are the differences between them?

The Kadett D was introduced in the middle of August 1979, with deliveries on the home market beginning early in September 1979.[68] In November 1979 the car went on sale in the UK, some five months before the Vauxhall Astra Mark 1, the British version, was launched in April 1980. The cars were designed as three- or five-door hatchbacks and estates or station wagons. There were also two- and four-door sedans featuring separate boots/trunks, which shared the silhouettes of the hatchbacks: in the UK the sedan versions were soon withdrawn. For the first time since 1965 there was no coupé bodied Kadett in the range: the previous Kadett C coupé was indirectly replaced by the three-door 1.3 SR sports model.

Thought they may have been the same, just confused me as to why they have different names.
I want one, I think they're bloody awesome.

Just due to the change over from Opel to vauxhall, well, when Opel pulled out of the Uk.
