They never phased out the hydro cover strips. They were there to the end of Australian production.

Even the vans had these hydro channels & covers from 1967 on, and they were never hydro.

I may be mistaken in my comment but that car appears to have hydrolastic releif and cover strip bolt holes in the floor which phased out in April 1973 and replaced with dry suspension. It would be nice to know the build data for the car and thus put a true identity on it.
The boot badge indicates Mini S not SS also

I was there today and its plate read as
LEYLAND MINI S 022X2S2M09/29xxx 12/77

Well it is definitely not an SS with that build code, simply a Leyland Mini S
