Well there are 5 1098 engines here, none of which have traces of black paint, but all of them have the cover plate over the hole, they can't all have come from Austins, surely?

According to Neil Cairns's excellent article on BMC engines, the V and H lettering after the first digits was introduced around 1970. In the strange worlds of Longbridge and Cowley, V (vertical) meant in-line, and H (horizontal) meant transverse. He says the only Moggy application for 10V engines was the van with closed circuit breather.
