Interesting. The fact it refers to 2 pump outputs infers a Cirrus Minor II Auster J/1,the part nos are correct for a J/1 also.
You wouldn’t inspect an Auster Mk4 to an Auster J/1 Manual-different engine/slightly different airframe.
The big give away for me is the ‘Authority’ -if it is meant to imply A and C Licenced Engineer that high a number didn’t appear till the early/mid 70s

I went through Halton ’69-72. There were 3 or 4 Sea Vixens on the airfield in’72 when we did the ‘airfields’ phase of training.We trained on them for electrical systems and engine ground running-the latter being very enjoyable knowing how much noise we were making! Interestingly,the Instructor would stand up in the Navigator’s seat and lean over to keep an eye on us.
Nice to think of the stuff we trained on and ran engines on; Piston Provost,Twin Pin, JP, Canberra, Comet [Cepheus?] and the Sea Vixen.The Beaufighter training rig was still there as well.
Happy days!
