I think the short answer is no.
The 3.2 found in the Frontera is an Isuzu engine, code 6VD1. What's in the Vectra is a GM unit, although its engine code I'm not sure about but will probably be something along the lines of X32XE

Definatly different.
The Vectra, Omega, Cavalier and Calibre V6 engines are all the same design. Just different displacement and add ons. All are GM design
The Frontera V6 is the Isuzu 6VD1W 3.2 DOHC V6.
Completely different designs. Not interchangeable.

Hound Dog ... as in the Vectra, Omega, Cavalier and Calibre are GM engines, not the Frontera 
I will add the Vauxhall Monterey is also the Isuzu 3.2 V6. Though came in two versions
The early SOHC 3.2 V6 (12 valve) 6VD1
The later DOHC 3.2 V6 (24 valve) 6VD1W
The latter was fitted to the Frontera B Series.
Visually they both look the same at first glance, but both hold subtle differences.
