I confess that I've been meaning to see what the Spare Parts Catalogue
might say about part number changes here, but I've not yet gotten to it. I
always suspected that it was a major, though puzzling, feature of the
fabled post-60000 body tubs. I say puzzling in that the change meant two
different stampings were then required depending on whether it was a RHD
or LHD tub. But the change might be earlier than TS60000.
Anyone got there original TR3 Spare Parts Catalogue handy?
Is it "survey" time?
