But a lot of Series 2as have been retrofitted with salisbury rear axles even early in their life after they became readily available after the S3 was on the market.

My 1964 2A had the fragile rover diff, I know because I broke it .

I had 2 X 109" suffix G S2a's both 1970 production (or maybe one was a 1971.) However one had a Rover rear diff the other had a Salisbury.

When you look at the March 1969 S2a Workshop Manual only the ENV and Rover diffs are mentioned, however by the Feb 1972 S2a Parts Catalogue the Salisbury diff is listed as interim.

My guesstimate would be 1971 for the date of Salisbury diff introduction.
