Here is a side by side comparison of the two downpipes, what does everyone think?

Looks more like a BJX pipe to me. The 100s' downpipe should run pretty much straight down from the manifold, else the clutch lever can hit the pipe when pressed to the floorboard (the one on my BN2 does; most annoying). Most/all aftermarket pipes cause this, and I'm told at least some of the OEM pipes did as well.

Hello, Healeyphiles –
 
Can anyone identify the exhaust pipe in the attached photos?  It has two “Made in England” labels on it and the numbers SU-529 and 02.106.1 but I am unable to find a reference to those numbers.  The pipe may be for some model of Healey (not BJ8) or not.  It’s painted and apparently unused, but it has surface rust where the paint has flaked off.   The pipe is intended to go INSIDE the muffler stub pipe.
 
Thanks!
