It is the wrong pump as you suggest. Looks like a pump made by the company Hardi rather than the correct SU pump.

Thank you. That's interesting! I presume these pumps are designed for the Minor so it's fine. It seems to do it's job as far as I can tell!
I'm a little unsure why anyone would choose to use a strap to secure the pump rather than using the holes on the battery tray, but I also notice it has three 'legs' that would attach to the battery tray whereas there are only two holes on the tray so I wonder if it's designed to be 'universal' and someone has just decided to go for the strap
The Hardi pumps are quite good I believe. They’re cheaper than SU pumps but the downside is they are not user serviceable. If it packs up I’d suggest getting an SU pump

Perhaps the thread in the pump are damaged so the mounting strap was a fix. As they say "if it works don't fix it" unless you are a purist and have to have it correct.
Yes it's a Hardi Pump.
As Stephen said, when it's busted it can't be User Serviced.
SU Pumps used brackets like that in some other cars, including Mini and MGs.
They are not user serviceable. I had a Hardi pump which packed up after 11 years. I sent them an email and enquired about a repair. They emailed back saying no problem. I think I paid about 25€ in total and they posted it back to me within a few days. I could not tell if it was my pump repaired or a brand new one-great service!
Brexit might be a problem on sending from UK for repair. I would enquire first .

I'd like to be a purist, but my car has long since gone in a different direction
