OK Listers,
After consulting with Roger Moment, here's what we've come up with...
*BN1/BN2 Service Manuals*
*997 *-* *July 1954
*997A *-* *September 1954
*997B* - September 1954
*997C* - September 1956
*97H997D* - September 1956 (there are both red and blue cover versions of
this manual)
*AKD4851 - *(1959 - no month given)
*BN1/BN2 Owners Handbooks*:
*996 * *September 1953 *(Apparently originally published with no
publication number, just the word PUBLICATION in the lower left of the
title page, and a small piece of paper has been pasted over it; the pasted
strip reads PUBLICATION NO. 996).
*996* *September 1953 *(Like the one above, only the word
PUBLICATION appears on the title page with nothing pasted on top of it, but
on the facing left-hand page is printed PUBLICATION NO. 996).
*996/A January 1954 SECOND EDITION.*
*996/B* *April 1954* *THIRD EDITION* (interestingly, inside
the front cover someone wrote in pencil: 1B8753).
*996/C* *November 1954* *THIRD EDITION* (yes, I know that it should
probably say FOURTH EDITION, but it says THIRD EDITION).
*996/D* *February 1955* *FOURTH EDITION* (interestingly, this one
is apparently from Australia as the presumed first owner wrote, in ink, on
the back of blank sheet inside the front cover: Ron Blunt / 64 Abuklea Rd /
Eastwood, and there is also a small, loose sticker (that was never licked
and stuck inside) giving the address of the Austin Motor Co. office in
Sydney, and there's also a sheet glued inside the back cover describing the
warranty and it lists the same Sydney address).
*996/E* *December 1955* *FIFTH EDITION*
*996/E* *December 1955* *FIFTH EDITION* with (BN2) on the cover,
under the 100 flash, and also on the title page, also under the 100 flash.
*97H 996E* *December 1955* *FIFTH EDITION* with different graphics on the
cover, which I surmise to be a later printing/factory reprint.
