[79.]

How old is the men's Oceanian 800m record?...

Re: 800m Trivia(2)...

Peter Snell (1964) or Ralph Doubell (1968)?

Didn't John Walker break the New Zealand 800 meter record back in the mid 70's?

He'd be my guess.

I believe it is still Peter Snell's 1:44.3 (1962). Ralph Doubell equalized it at the Olympic Games 1968, but the electronic timing was 1.44.40.

John Walker's best is 1:44.92 set at the Commonwealth Games in 1974 (Christchurch).
