Tom,

First of all what the heck is a BN4 2?

Obviously from the number it is a BN2.

The complete number of the engine should be 1B226669M. The M simply 
signifies the engine was assembled in the Morris engines plant, not the 
Austin engines plant. No, it has nothing to do with the M specification.
