I haven't studied the variations of the Austin vans but somewhere along the line the A55 became the A60 - presumably when the 1500cc engine changed to the 1622. Some of them here in NZ had their life extended by fitting 1800s out of Marinas, although they are all gone now.

Cf. http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/ , scroll down (on the left) to 'Feature galleries' > Light commercials, enter at 'car-derived vans/pick-ups', scroll down halfway.
