Fuel pump valves & ID

I'm trying to overhaul my fuel pump.
I cleaned it up and split the top and bottom halves.
the valves are not as described in any of my workshop manuals, they seem to
be pressed in place, with no screwed retainer plate, and are smaller
than those in my pump overhaul kit.
(also don't match the illustrations in any of my Alpine 1-4, Alpine 5,
or Hunter manuals)

It's a glass topped AC, with no priming arm.
stamped on it...

  TYPE U
  1L 009

Anybody know :is this is an earlier Rootes pump?
a later Hunter / Avenger pump?

What year was the priming lever dropped?

And is the pump actuating lever specific to Rootes engines,
or was an identical pump & lever used on other contemporary engines ?

( hey!...enough already! go buy a new pump! )

p.s.
My engine is getting rebuilt.
Going to have *lots* of obscure rebuilding questions for you guys and gals.
hoping for "vroom vroom" noises in about six / eight weeks.
