Hello Harry:
Engine # does sound like an early TR4, with CT prefix. Without an ME
suffix, it is an engine that was not originally sold in a Morgan. An
engine original to the car would have had an engine # starting with TS.
With your chassis #, the Morgan factory can provide the exact engine,
gearbox and axle numbers as delivered, and to whom the car was
delivered.
It is always engoyable, though sometimes frustrating, to trace the
lineage and history of your car. Good luck.
