As this is Birmingham, they would definitely be Austin badged from Longbridge - there would have been riots in the streets if Morris was used (although by now all ADO17s were Longbridge-built). One on left is definite 2200 with badge on right of grille instead of in centre for 1800. One on right not clear enough to be sure, but unlikely they used slower 1880.
