G'day Sean
Well, yes and no...

It confirms that the engine was not AUS-made.
No surprises there. It helps confirm my thoughts in my previous post

The story of Villiers AUS is told HERE.

Your MkII Midget was made in England.
The early Sydney Morrisons used imported engines, because
Villiers Australia were not making engines when your
mower was made - best guess.

Villiers AUS started by making engine components in c1954, but
full engine production probably only began in c1956 - a year
before the factory was officially opened [in 1957].

It may be, down the track, when you remove the flywheel cover,
other identifiers may say something. Maybe.

Many thanks for being so quick with the info.
I was hoping you would not have raced out to the
garage with torch light in hand. Brilliant!

Many thanks, also, for helping with the record on these
mighty Morrisons.

Cheers

p.s. Sean, here's something you may find serendipitous.
A serious and knowledgeable collector in NZ sent me these images
years' ago. They purport to depict the FIRST Morrison lawnmower.
We're talking the interwar years ... c1935.

Notice what it is sitting upon? ... laugh
