I think you are right Peter. I started a thread about this on the Moparts forum and someone posted a picture of the Jensen pump cover - I'm sure that's what is on my car. My engine was rebuilt by Dean Anthony at Jensen Motors Australia (not someone I would recommend dealing with).
However, I don't think this pump cover is any use for the Bristol 411 in normal circumstances. He cut a six inch square hole in each side of the engine bay, supposedly to improve access to spark plugs or engine mounts (I forget the exact excuse), but I think Jensen oil pump cover could not have been used if the hole was not there.

But not as scarce as the part used by Bristol it seems!
It would be interesting to know whether Bristol had these made up or if they were supplied by Chrysler. If the latter, someone on the Moparts forum suggested it may be from a marine or truck engine, which Chrysler also made.
