Hello David:
I have some sales literature for '68 MGB which shows U.S. cars with
octagonal knock-offs instead of the eared variety.
Clausager in ORIGINAL MGB lists November 1967 as the change-over date
(1968 model year) from the eared type to octagonal for all export
models. In August 1968 the home market cars changed over (presumably
they ran out of old stock at that time).
It seems that the eight-sided jobs are correct for the 1971.
Regards,
David F. Darby
