Interesting read Tony, hadn't seen that before.
It's possibly worth adding that while I'm sure you're right about the difficulty / cost acquiring a full and accurate set, if Steve is merely casually interested in having a period-looking tool kit a lot of items ('Austin' logo spanners, King Dick adjustable spanners, A7 jacks and handles, wheel braces etc.) show up frequently at autojumbles and can be had for a few quid.
