I understand this to mean that the part wasn't an off the shelf part before adoption for CMP use but it is possible that the part could have been adopted for another use later on. The same two part number insulators are listed for the mount at center rear of the cab.

Hi Ian,
I am almost certain the rubber parts are the same as Ford engine mounts looking at my collection of old body and engine mounts. See attached.
The only difference I can see is the length of the bolts. The body mount ones on the left are slightly longer, probably to accommodate the thicker cast steel chassis to body support arm. The third one is an original Engine mount bolt and the one on the right is an early Landrover engine mount. This would account for the astisk Grant mentioned in the parts list.
As a mater of interest Ford CMP engine mounts are also the same as early Landrover engine mounts. I bought my engine mounts from a Landrover parts supplier a long time ago in the years BI (Before Internet). Think he said they were the same as Series 2A engine mounts. Perhaps the Landy experts on the forum can confirm.
Surprisingly Blackwoods Industrial Supplies carried at that time an identical rubber vibration insulator in their catalogue. No guarantee it is still available though.
Hope this is of some help.
Cheers,
