1098 flywheel converted for use with Ford type 9 gearbox

Hi,
I have uncovered another item from my motoring past whilst clearing out my shed.
This is what I believe to be a 1098 flywheel (or 1275?) converted for use with a Ford type 9 gearbox.
I obviously didn't use it much as it has a new ring gear fitted, with hardly any or no wear evident......
However please can the experts on here confirm what I believe to be the case, as the passage of time may have caused me to misidentify this item.
Many thanks,
Mike.

The above - 1275cc Midget/Sprite flywheel with centre bush adapter to carry the Ford first motion shaft.

The 1098cc flywheel does not have a register only the 4 bolt holes. The flywheel in the picture appears to have the register which fits over the rear of the 1275cc crankshaft. It also has the six bolt holes and the two dowel location holes.

Thanks for the confirmation Phil.
As I am unable to recall why it came off with so little wear to the ring gear I shall add it, clearly labelled, to my 'free to whoever needs it' spares pile for the next national.
Unless someone on here wants it now for the cost of postage (bear in mind it's large and heavy).
Best wishes,
Mike.
