G'day
It's obvious that LWB stood for "Less Without Body".
Quite a few LWB Austin-Healeys were exported to the colonies where they
were rebodied as Morris Marshalls, Morris Isis or Austin A90/A95.
Is it April 1st yet?

Interesting - According by Emerson's book p133
" The BN6 was also offered for export in the "Completely Knocked
Down"(CKD)
configuration. In the CKD process, semi-assembled cars were shipped to
foreign
countries such as South Africa and Cuba, where they were completed in
local
factories."
