Don, I believe I am correct. Check Ditlev Clausager Original Austin Healey,
Page 59 Carbs and Fuel System Para 2. Only used from July to November 59.
Also photos on P56 to 58 do not show the plates.Your car may have been
fitted with a leftover cylinder head ex factory if the motor is as you say
untouched
