Do you know what the 'B' or 'SC' stands for literally?

==AM==
I don't recall "B" alone, but "BW" might literally have stood for 
Borg-Warner, the manufacturer of the automatic gearboxes used. "SC" 
might stand for Saloon Conversion? Just a guess, since most of the 
estate car bodies from Standard-Triumph (with Heralds being a notable 
exception) were actually converted by the Mulliners subsidiary from 
partially completed saloon body shells.
