Colin,

Have a look at this photo.
It is a MGA Deluxe, but the only real difference from a 1500 is that it does not use a relay for the turn indicators, and the master cylinder setup.

Maybe this car, and yours, were used as the getaway cars in bank robberies.

Don't forget that it's the same bulkhead whether for LHD for RHD so quite a number of holes are duplicated. It is important to make sure all the spare holes are plugged. When moving, the engine compartment sits at a higher pressure to the cockpit and any small unplugged hole or gap gives rise to a mini hurricane of hot air and possibly fumes blasting into the cockpit area.
