Nope, not at all, Ronald,
There were 3000's MK I, MK II and MK III. They all had the same engine
blocks, just different carbs. There were also MK III's and MK
IIIa's, as well, but I do not profess to know where the "a" nomenclature
came from denoting the different body style with the additional running
lights as required by USA regulations. (As the Colonies were DMH's
prime market.) Come on Concours guys, Patrick and Alan, help me out
here! :-)
