When the system was changed to the better known post war series for MoD, the entire RMY series was reissued to normal vehicles This was between September 1952 and May 1953. The car in question is definitely a Morris Minor, but whether Series MM or Series II is difficult as the last Series MM two door saloon was made in February 1953.

As far as I can tell. most A-I-B series were front-loaded with most numbers issued early in the listed date range, with only a few stragglers in the final months. So normal assumptions about a steady linear progress through the numbers aren't reliable.. So I'd go for a 52 MM.
