Andrew, I'm no expert specifically on TR6s, but my experience with many 
other Triumphs tells me that the engine numbers usually run close, but 
up to several hundred or more numbers HIGHER, than do Commission numbers. 
I'd guess that your engine might predate your car, possibly by upwards 
of a year.

Hopefully, there is someone out there better versed in TR6s who can tell 
you more.
