I don't think the ID plates were any different to standard mini S - just the fact that the roof was fitted.

Looks like the right roof, but bits are missing

There should be a knob on the dash and a vacuum line running up to the roof

As Simon says Compliance plate didn't mention it being a Sunshine. Was the same as a Mini S

That roof looks like one to me.
