Bottle Jack

Hi
I have recently inherited a 1970 series 2a swb Land Rover , in the back , with various rotting objects was an old Shelly bottle jack LJ 25 ( 0 or C ) BH 4 ..would anyone be know if this was original? And if it was provided with the Land Rover when new , where was it stored ?
Many thanks
Matt

mu old mans had something like this

That’s the one exactly... maybe it’s the original.. going to take it to bits and clean it up tomorrow will post a photo .. and many thanks

Behind the seats, the rod sections and handle fitted into clips on the bulkhead.

I have the exact same kit in my ‘74 series 3. As tottott says, rods behind seat with clips. The jack is wrapped in a piece of carpet in the box under the passenger seat, along with the wooden handle. I use the jack, though it could do with a service, as it no longer fully retracts. It would be interesting to know what years they were standard issue??

Just looked on line and , as always , there is a classic “ jacks “ website ! Loads of Shelly jacks appears the. 1950 jack was used in landys till 74 .. cant see obvious fixings for the jack handle behind the seats but then I am not sure the bulkhead , or anything yet for that matter , is original! Many thanks
