I don't know, but I'd be interested to see some photos of the Gipsy.

Rover & Austin (by then part of BMC) were totally independent companies, so no reason why they should.
Mind you those were the days when a manufacturer would go to someone like Lockhead and by off the shelf parts from them, so you never know.

If it helps, have a look out for Austin Champ parts. These were in production around the same time.

A tad belated, but I used Series brake cylinders on a MKII. Don't know offhand what difference there is between the MKI and MKII, but I would assume they would use similar components in that area. As to the brake shoes themselves, I honestly couldn't say.
