Gear stick/lever gaiters not alligators.
What is the difference between the 'English' style gaiter and the 'Australian' style* gaiter?
[ Is it corrector permissible to place 'Australian' and 'style' next to each other?]
Is it possible to use an 'English' style gaiter in an Australian Mini Moke?

Would a circa 1973 fall into the 'early' category?

For the benefit of all:
Found this on that font of (sometimes incorrect) knowledge Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_Moke
I wonder when the gaiters changes and to what style?

So 1973 is almost slap bang in the exact middle. So this does not help me.The first Mokes were only built at BMC's Longbridge, Birmingham plant.
14,518 Mokes were produced in the UK between 1964 and 1968
26,000 in Australia between 1966 and 1981, and
10,000 in Portugal between 1980 and 1993 when production of the Moke ended.
