The whole point of the mk2 was the revolutionary door hinges and the lights. I don't think they would have put the older lights in, as it would have meant putting the mk1 rear panel!

The Mk.2 always had the rectangular rear lights. It was a popular mod in the late '60's to fit Mk.2 rear lights as they were better than Mk.1.
All Mk.2's were hydrolastic, as were Mk.1's from Sept. 1964 onwards.
The Mk.2 has a padded top & bottom dash rail and a dip-switch on the column stalk. The Mk.1 has a floor mounted dip-switch.

It's only the bottom rail that's padded on the MK 2, unless you are counting the trim on the Cooper and S as padding.

Some of the very last Mk2's came with Mk3 bootlids and paint colours.
