I can just make out the front apron panel is the short flat type introduced in 1960, and I'm also fairly sure the bulkhead vent flaps have the small welded hinges introduced in 1961 rather than the earlier large screwed on type. This means the Land Rover is either a 1961 Series 2 or a 1962/1963 Series 2A. Incidentally, the major differences between the Series 2 and 2A were the front axle steering arms, the diesel engine (increased from 2 to 2.25 litres) and the addition of a second fuse in the fusebox. the petrol engine was already 2.25 litres in the Series 2, but it did undergo a number of internal changes that mirrored the new diesel engine.
