I'm sure glad he used past tense.

Long tappets and short pushrods:
All MGA (except Twin Cam), and MGB with 18G through 18GK engines.

Short tappets and long pushrods:
MGB 18V engines.

>Is the above combination the same overall length as the long tappets and
the short push rods?

Yup.

>Which means these two combinations are interchangeable.  Right?

Yup, in mated sets.
