A side picture of the waistline moulding at the 'A' post would make it clear whether RN or RP, and the RN has a wider rear body measured above the rear mudguards. Also RN doors are thicker at the bottom with internal wooden framing at that point, but RP doors are completely metal at the bottom. The thicker doors of the RN correspond with the wider rear body. If there is a sliding roof it will be recessed level with the metal on an RN, but it sits on top on the RP.

The square silver box is definitely out of place and a modern replacement. I would guess its some type of cutout for the dynamo. The taillight will go for something more period correct. Hints on correctness would be appreciated. I'll have a better idea what the white knob switches are after I pickup the car next month Thanks for the comments.

I have a 33 box saloon and a 37 export tourer, Looking for info about the dash controls. My 33 has a switch above the starter switch on the steering column that I have no idea what it does. Is there a reference for the dash controls for my cars?

MY ERROR. I made an assumption that the the Austin 7 motors had the fiber drive gear on the dynamo as did my American Austin motor. I was obviously wrong. Attached is a photo of the damaged gear. If I have a chance, tomorrow I will send some photos of how I repaired the damaged bolt hole that allowed the camshaft and gear to move forward
