Brand new track would have 168 per side for the first 50 miles. At that time, the pebbling from the casting will have worn and one link is removed to bring the track to 167.

MkI, my friend. The MkII has the wiring armour shifted to use a dash mounting bolt. So, 1 less hole there in the later carriers.
Cheers.

Excellent! Once you replace the driver side step and crowbar attachment, along with the two applicable web straps and wing nuts, you should be quite pleased.

Are you mounting a Stacey style towing attachment? There is a stowage modification that calles for two UK produced replacement parts with leather retaining straps, IIRC the P/N is TL1029. They allow the pick handle to be relocated over the top edge of the tool plate. There is a DME in Nigel Watson Universal Carriers Volume II.
