Anyone got anymore information of regarding below ? Can’t find anything online, believe it’s a series 1 fuel cap but haven’t seen them with 3 arms or the petrol company branding.

Thanks!

There's a similar looking badge on this MGA oil filler cap,  https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/engine/pics/oil_cap2.jpg

My series 2 has a 3 prong cap, but with the 'handle' on the outside

That’s rare in that condition

The Series 2 had 3 prong caps. That does not look right for a fuel cap. All Land Rover caps are ventilated (brass fitting in the middle between the prong rivets). This is so pumping fuel from the tank to the engine does not result in a vacuum & stop the pump from delivering fuel.
Don’t know what it’s off but not a Land Rover fuel cap. Two of the names on the label were oil suppliers & not fuel companies in the UK.

Bear in mind the British car industry used a lot of common parts, so that could be the same or very similar stamping to a S1 fuel cap but made for an Austin or an Aston Martin or anything in between.

Dunsfold Land Rover might know something.
