Welcome "rjoyce".
By your car#, it's definitely a 1949 model.
All lowlights (as yours should be) have the short bonnet with smaller bonnet hinges - I assume this is what you are referring to.
I'm not sure about the dip in the windscreen though.
Do you mean there's a dip in the centre of one of the flat glass panels ?
I hope you're not referring to the actual split screen itself .
It sounds like quite a collection you have. It's good to see another Series MM enthusiast .
Any chance of some photos ?

I have a picture:
But a better quality one would be better.
rjoyce, is there any chance that you could e-mail me a picture of the rear lights as a reference shot? You can e-mail it to cam.shaw@mmoc.org.uk
Thanks.

When my family went to Sril Lanka to visit my grandparents we found that most of the cars were RHD, and they 'techincally' drove on the left *grins*
I love Sri Lanka, it's beautiful, but the driving made an impression of insanity at age 5, so it must have been quite something.
