While I agree that's the wrong bumper (and overriders), I'm not convinced
it's from a TR3. I suspect the bar itself is a rather poor reproduction,
similar to the one on my TR3A which was purchased from Moss many years ago.
(In all fairness to Moss, I bought it on a close-out, after they had sourced
a much better reproduction bumper.) The overriders look like they might be
from a TR4.
The TR3 bumper bar is more nearly U-shaped in cross section than the 3A bar,
and extends further back along the fenders. The overriders, while not as
tall as the 3A units, are taller and skinnier than the ones shown on auction
2412218381, with a somewhat rectangular outline.

The wording is vague, but to me it only says the transmission is later than
the car.

And the auction makes it clear (to me anyway) that they are not the original
wheels.
Just my $.002, NFI, YMMV, etc.
