Hi Geoffrey,
Certainly here in the UK the Series I & II Morris 8's were negative earth, not sure about New Zealand though. I own a 1936 Series I Morris 8 Tourer. The brass bodies would have been fitted to early (from November 1934) M8's and to various other Morris vehicles probably those built prior to around 1935 after which they moved over to alloy bodies. As Peter has said the pumps are bulkhead (firewall) mounted on the M8. The M8 pumps were 6v LP (Low Pressure) AUA 26. The new pumps SU sell are mainly dual polarity but the originals were single polarity as far as I can recall.
Further information on the pumps and spare parts can be sourced from SU Burlen here in the UK:
