The one on the 4wd mini is the morris one , basically the ones we had down here . The Green one is a later English mini , anywhere from about 72 (I think ) onwards right up until the last Rover in 2000 , well , at least very similar to the last , there could have been some changes .

And by the way , back to your original question in this post , you can put a Rover grille on an Aussie roundnose without too much trouble , maybe drill a couple of extra screwholes .....

The grill on the green car is a grill from 1966 ish onwards all English MKII and later have this grill through to 2000.
