Look like moggy traveller rear hinges, but with those there is a slight angular difference between top and bottom though.
£9 a pair, is a good price.

They look very much like the door hinges on my old landrover 90 I used to have. And those larger catches definitely look like landrover bits.

Somewhere I should have layout drawings for fitting a Morris 1000 body on a series III chassis. Though God knows where they are now, as they were done in the early 80s.
I know where the chassis drawings are (I think  Undecided) but can't recall if it was a SWB or a cut down LWB.

Kev, I've got 4 of those hinges in my spares box if you want them. Also fitted to Mini van & Morris Minor van rear doors. They have a brass ball fitting in the middle so you can fit them against angled surfaces.

Kev will correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I understand things, you can remove non structural items such as body mount brackets, fuel tank mounts etc. and in this case the battery mounting. Just make sure that anything you remove is not also acting as bracing between structural members.
On a Landy chassis this is fairly easy to see but on modern unitary construction, working out what is structural or not can be difficult.

It's a bit of a minefield to be honest. From speaking with Tech at VOSA ( DSVA now ) they really expect anything shown on a factory chassis diagram to remain there BUT will allow removal of small body mounts , fuel tank supports depend on how big what and where they are. The small brackets on the back of a Herald chassis , and also on Realiant Scimitar that servo no purpose other than tank supports can definitely NOT be removed whilst undergoing the rebodying process. Unitary / Monococque items tend to be much more clearcut .For instance you CAN'T remove an engine mount from the body and they would expect you to make an adaption between block and monococque.
