The priming lever rod looks to me as though it is an original fitment to the
pump and not a modification.
I have seen similar on BMC \ BL \ Rover diesel AC lift pumps.
Possibly the pump on offer is a replacement pump from another make of car.
Maybe a Sunbeam Apline as I seem to recall that this car also uses the same
bolt pattern.
This does happen, when I bought my TR4A in 1999 an ignition distributor unit
from a 1968 US spec MGB...........(washes mouth out with soap)....... was
fitted. It ran fine but obviously had some difference otherwise it would
have had a TR4A matching part number.
Otherwise a rod instead of a lever may just be one of those parts bin
mysteries.
