not sure if the standard does

Yes but the correct size?
Can you zoom in on the sidewall to read the numbers? :D

Hard to say from photos, but those look like 7.50x16 military bar grip tyres, which I used to run on my 2a back in the 80s, because I could get them very cheap. :)

As far as I know, SWB Series 1s for civilian market had 6.00x16 tyres, and 7.50x16 for LWB.
A Series 1 with thin crossply tyres is a very nice drive, the steering is quite easy to turn, which changed when radials started to be fitted.
Obviously, the crossplys won't be so good for braking and cornering as radials, but what you gain on the roundabouts, you lose on the swings.

I only saw they were bar grips ;)
We only have the 600x16 fitted
