Do you recognise this axle as Morris Minor?

I'm sorry to ask this question as I feel that some may be offended by it. Please accept my apologies in advance.
I have recently purchased a trike with an unidentified axle and it has been suggested that this could be from a Morris Minor. I am a novice both to the world of triking and Morris's so I really couldn't be sure. Do any of your members recognise this?
The brake shoes are Lockheed S147573. Any information is gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

The hub is not a Minor, the brakes are not from a Minor, the the casing is not a Minor. Sorry, I can't tell you what it is, but it is not a Minor. Nice and clean though

What pcd are the wheels? (distance between the two diagonal studs) this will give the best idea.

Something more modern that a Minor as they look to be self adjusting.
Are you sure about the brake shoe number, I can't find any hits for it even excluding the leading S.

what is the sticker on the l/h side of the axle seems to have a web site address. For what its worth the small bolts in the brackets on the rear of the axle seem to be Japanese car style so may be of japanese origin Toyota nissan etc..

I think I've got to the bottom of it now. It appears to be a Suzuki / Bedford / Vauxhall Rascal mini van. Thank you all very much for your answers and the time you spent on this. It is very much appreciated. : )
