<< Hi Fred,
Are you sure that wheel isn't a Sprite wheel? The Sprite Mk2s had black
steering wheels while the Midget Mk1s had the beige or tan wheels. I've been
through a couple of horn buttons over the years, and when I ordered or asked
for a Midget button of that vintage, there was only only one - the beige with
the MG emblem, there was no other choice. The Sprite button was black with
the AH emblem on it.

Russ,
Not entirely true. Actually, Very Very few midgets came with the off white or
beige wheel. Less than 5000 of the very first Midget MkI's had the beige
wheel and plinth. The sprites were all black! The difference between the
midget and sprite wheels is the finned horizontal lines in the center
supports. the sprites had them, the midgets didn't. Besides, I think we were
getting our chains yanked with the NOS inventory of 2 black and one white.
$50.00 a piece.
