I have a similar book Publication 843/C dated 1957 but still labelled Austin Motor Company. I often wondered if it was a reprint of a much earlier but there are some differences so not. For diffs Duckhams NOL EP 140 and Mobilube GX 140.

Most oil firms claim not, and presumably the Austin co knew what it was recommending..
