The lever arm looks similar to the "short console" 3 spd "stick" shifter (70B); may be a 70 series model (type C?). Sorry, I have no example to show for comparison.

My guess would be a Jag MK V (late 40's-early 50's), no MK VI's (prototype w/"XK" engine), went to MK VII. I've worked on a MK V, and it has that style "2 rail" bumper.
