Mike,
Are you sure it's 12v ? I ask because there's a 'Used' 1939 6v C45YV3 BN95 with service number: 228227 on ebay at the moment for £145 and said to be for an Austin 8 (it's not for a Morris 8 as the BN designation shows it's for an Austin). I'd have thought the 12v version of the above dynamo would definitely have a different service number - unless of course a previous owner has had it rewound as a 12v. The voltage should be stamped on the cylindrical steel body.
I've just checked, and the above C45YV3 BN95 was fitted to both the 1938/39 Big 7 and the 1940/47 Austin 8.

Here's another cheaper one for £75 with 3 days to go to end of auction:

The 1939 to 48 Morris 8 Series E also used a 6v C45YV A108 dynamo but with a service number 228269 - the end plates will probably be a different orientation and possibly the
pulley wheel will be different too - the Morris 8 doesn't have that bladed cooling disc shown fitted behind the pulley as on the Austin 8 one on ebay.
