3 digit XL means very early, 23/24/25. I can't find the list I had of numbers of teeth on the gears - I used to use it as an exercise for students to work out the overall ratios!
Re: the axle, the RN saloon is a bitzer; it probably lost it's mechanical parts in the 1950's special building time. Someone has collected some of the right parts at autojumbles and I'm trying to sort out the mess! I think the axle is 1929 or 1930, depending on whether the number is related to the total number of axles produced or the number of axles produced of that type (i.e. shock absorber holes etc.).
