David,

The "straight driveshafts" are only due to the position of the transfer box output in relation to the axle drive flanges. If you watch the film and freeze frame it when they wind the K2 up the hill, you can plainly see CMP hubs. The only transfer boxes that Austin had produced at that time were the K5 and K9 types.
