The hole pattern and gears appear to be standard SAE dimensions and direction of rotation makes no difference.

Hmm interesting idea.

BTW the Morris CS8 you drove around collecting sand as a kid on the island, these have a generic SMITHS tyre pump ( fitted on many UK trucks ) on the gearbox side, there is a rod through the wood floor , you pull the ring up to engage the pump . There is a air filter for the pump mounted on the chassis rail , I pulled one apart and it's stuffed full with raw cotton !
