Should the petrol cap have a retaining chain on it ?

Yes, unless it as been changed for a locking cap.
Original Series MM caps were hinged to the filler pipe

As far as I know locking petrol caps were only ever an aftermarket accessory. I think the numbers are a co incidence.

The original key nos. should be listed on the car's Heritage certificate
