The numbers are wrong, but the brackets in the boot look correct. Not sure about the tunnel, looks to be a later shell. Definitely 'caveat emptor' in my opinion.

Definately wrong shell. Later (post 1974) floor pan & it shouldn't have fresh air vent holes.

sorry but you are wrong here, fresh air vents were an BL option on all MK III,s
and therefor were the innerwings prepped to accommendate this.
Here is a picture with an early Swedish MK III (not Cooper S) that had this option from new.
