Does anyone know of  other vendors (no offense to Moss  intended!) that carry 
just the one bearing?  (Yes, I did also suggest  taking the old bearing to a 
bearing supply company  for possible  matching or cross-referencing.)

And, as I didn't have time to go to a local bearing supply company, I  
decided to poke around the Net a bit more. Turns out that none other than 
Timken  
has a pretty darned good web site that even offers a lookup of bearings by car  
make. They even have some listings going back to the TR2-TR3.
 
Anyway, for anyone interested, I found out the following. First,  the 
markings on the original bearing in this instance were:
 
"Hoffman," "England," "L10 V2," and on the inner race, "L510 V2." (Thanks,  
Bryan!)
 
And from the Timken site, I get: LS 10 for that ball bearing.
 
For the rest of the Herald/Spitfire rear axle bearing collection:
 
Seal  inner 471224
Needle Bearing  inner B168
