Looks to me like its a metro setup, but I could be wrong, radius arms look metro to me

That's definitely not a mini subframe or radius arm setup.
I'd say that's an Austin 1300 ADO16 rear subframe, radius arms and drums that's been bodged into a mini and rubber cone suspension fitted.
I agree, it looks very much like and ADO 16 rear subframe. I wonder why someone fitted it?

Rear subframe is not Mini and it is not Metro.
the brake drums are not off either.
Just use some thing with casters on till you have sourced a Mini rear end.

Yes it has a BMC 1100/1300/Austin America (ADO16) rear subframe and radius arms/drums, plus converted from Hydrolastic to Mini rubber cone suspension.....interesting but seems a very odd modification to do with little gain except a wider track!

Sorry for off-question : what is the color of the green Mini ?

Possibly Willow Green GN33 like the Swiftune Historic race Mini below?
Also it was a common colour for Mini Vans and Pickups in the 1960's.

I have started a thread on the Mk1 Forum (see link below) to see if any of the early Mk1 Mini 'experts' on there can also help identify your Mini and comment on the very unusual rear subframe modifications.
ADO16 rear subframe in a Mini....
