No! The Minor brake m/c is under the floor in the chassis rail. Nothing at all like the Mini one.
Bad luck.
They are a PIA to replace especially if some sod has put the bolts in so that you have to remove the RH torsion bar (or use the butchers method of levering the bar aside)to remove the bolts holding the m/c in place. When reassembling put the bolts in so that the nuts are on the torsion bar side. It's a long, long time since I did this but I think you can do it that way.
Ist car I owned was a 54 Series 2 Minor with 803cc of wheel spinning axle tramp power.

Even though the repair kit bits are apparently the same the body is quite different. Single casting rather than the Mini style cast tube with the tank soldered on.
You can get the m/c resleeved with a stainless steel or nickel bronze sleeve rather than replacing it completely. Once they are sleeved they usually last forever. Not all that expensive to have done. Probably cheaper than a new one.
