So if understand correctly, basically the pins are interchangeable on the pistons, meaning that I could have either original A7 type split rod gudgeon pins or floating ones, as would have been standard on the 11121 pistons.

Yes, the gudgeon pins are directly interchangable. So, it's highly likely that you have the original pinch bolt style rods in there. The SV Reliant rods can be made to fit a 3 bearing A7 motor along with the Reliant crank, but it is a quite a bit of work, and unless they are the very early Reliant rods, you would need to have a quite thick spacer between the block and crankcase as the Reliant rods are longer than the A7 ones -did this conversion many years ago, so can't remember the exact dimension now.
