This rear axle/Suspension is part of a Charles Ware Series 3 conversion produced around 1995. The Ser 3 conversion usually utilised the Marina/Ital rear axle but this axle conversion has the Minor axle (or possibly Riley 1.5) with the stronger BTA diff carrier. The brakes also appear to be Riley 1.5.
I have a copy of the Classic Car Mechanics road test relating to the Series 3 Traveller Reg WAH 793H and which has a photo of the rear axle conversion.
The Series 3 conversion (with photo) also featured in MMOC Minor Matters - Technical Tips - May/June 1995 of which I have a copy.
