No Minor was ever supplied as suitable for 'unleaded' so
the engine number will not tell you. The only way is to be told
by a previous owner who actually fitted a modified head (and
to see the bills to prove it perferably).

I would say so, more than likely. The only way to tell is to take the head off and have a look (not a good option).
Best to use unleaded with a protective additive such as Castrol Valvemaster or Valvemaster Plus.
unleaded

I wouldn't bet on it and, since you could wreck the head if
you guess wrong i would use the approved additives as
suggested.

Yes, but only the approved ones, such as Castrol Valvemaster, Reddex, Millers, etc.
