I don't know the car but just a few points I noticed

No LS stripes on side.
Original wheels were 10"
Original engine was 998cc
Original roof was vinyl covered.
Can't make out the radio console but doesn't look quite right.
Exhaust is non standard.
Non standard steering wheel.
Interior colour is wrong.

Enough to make you wonder why all these changes ?

I had a 77 LS and there were 2 red lights built into the dash above the instrument cluster (handbrake and something else). These are missing also

Quite right. The Clubman S came along around mid - late 73, after production of the GT finished and the LS was later still.

You are spot on Henri, the S didn't make an appearance till March 1973 and as for the LS shown, I had picked up on the points raised by smithy. I'm more interested in finding out the condition of the cars as I have a friend of my son looking at getting a Mini again. A bit hard to decide from a distance with the going price advertised on both especially when neither appear to be a genuine specific model. I must admit they both look very well presented.
