The correct one for your car "series II" would be the one that says
sunbeam.
Later year cars had the cover with the single "S" and later ones yet
had the spot for the "S", but no S.
I do not know which years had what, only that various engines I have
dealt with over the years had various covers.
Iron Headed Rootes cars used a lower cost stamped steel cover,
while the later non-sunbeam cars that used the alloy head would have
used the generic alloy covers.
All the mentioned covers were factory pieces, and Ive even seen
alloy covers that have "Super Minx" emossed on them too.
