B9470101 does NOT have the original engine (presently 5 bolt 289). The 
bracket IS the original Tiger design.

I encourage others to participate in Ron's engine data gathering 
endeavors. That said, actually seeing the bracket is difficult. My Tiger 
is (has been) on jackstands. I attempted to use my phone to take an 
image. Unfortunately the confines are tight and it wants to focus on the 
clutch fork. The best (my opinion) identifier being the radius of the 
upper "vee" webbing is obscured by the slave cylinder and adjustment 
rod. However, when I took a light under the car a second identifier of 
the curved over "vee" rails were quite obvious as it can be seen before 
the slave cylinder gets in the way. Score one for the naked eye over 
modern technology in this case. I could not definitively discern this 
even when zooming in on the phone image.
