I think those were used on almost every BMC car in the late 1950s. I'm sure that the MGA and the Mk1 "Frogeye" Sprite used that fusebox and, as they were assembled next door to the Comps Dept........it would seem a strong possibility.

Yes I recon that's what it must be..but considering it only takes 2 fuses I'd have thought it must have a 7FJ box somewhere as well. But from all the period images I've seen only 33EJB had a 7FJ box on the navigators side below the dash rail.

Yup 99.9% convinced the one in my dad's MGA 1600 is the same as that. If wanted I can grab a pic next time I'm in the workshop.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!
