David, mine was within reach. Page 63 shows a '69 engine compartment, and only 
the rear canister has the
sticker. However, all of the other pictures of various years show stickers on 
both cans...

As Max said, the best (accurate) option is "Original MGB" by Clausager.
I have a copy but when I needed it a few weeks ago I couldn't find it.
So I used google and the Internet instead for a reference. Mine was a
minor matter. There are likely many MG engine compartment pictures to be
found on the Internet, particularly on cars for sale, and you would be
looking at maybe years 69-71 for US spec. However, those may not be
totally accurate but I'm sure if you found some pics and posted the
links, some of us could verify that the layout is period correct or not.

But since I brought it up, I was looking at MGB engine compartment pics
because I just sandblasted and painted my air filter containers and was
wondering about the layout of the Cooper stickers and whether one or
both had the stickers originally. A minor point to be sure but I'm
thinking when originally shipped only one had the sticker, not both. By
the time I find my copy of "Original MGB" I will have forgotten this
small matter though.
