Mainly the experience of the guy in the Heritage Trust. Just his opinion, presumably based on where the majority of CKD vehicles at that time were sent, and given it had a regular Solihull chassis plate, rather than the 'Leyland Australia' plate that was mostly used down there.
Quarry....yes, that's what I had deduced given the difference between the likely build date of 1979 (given the brake sizes) and the registration date, and having been told a previous owner was a quarrying company.

The engine number on the paperwork is the same as chassis number?...what is the engine number stamped on the block?...

The engine was replaced with an early Defender 5MD engine rather than the original 3MD engine before I got it, so the original engine number is unknown and the current number is irrelevant, I'm afraid.

The engine number was to OP sorry for confusion posted both in same reply
 
Sorry Blackburn, but I'm not in South Africa, I am in Eswatini (previously Swaziland).
The wagon has never been registered in SA, which is another odd thing to the story!

The point I was getting at was you where not in the UK , did not look that close to map.
Is the lack of traceable number going to prevent you registering it in Eswatini?
Was following a recent post where some one was trying to export SA landrover to UK and South African CKD numbers are not accepted here for registration.
