Yes its a westy one, they also use the same one in the caterham. They don't use them as standard on anything else.(that isn't a kit car)
I've just bought one from westfield for my Striker.

Girling --- non-servo type.
Looks like it is off either a MK3 Cortina 1300 (without servo) or a MK1 Fiesta (without servo) or a Trumph GT6 or a late 70s early 80s FX4D Taxi.

Which depends on bore of cylinder istr the Fords were 0.75" bore and the Triumph and FX4D cylinder was a 0.7" bore. The Triumph/FX4d cylinder was used by Westy --- a few of these come on to the market because Wesfield include a bigger bore cylinder in thier uprated brake kit.

0.7" bore is a bit on the small side for a single cylinder system ---- it will give light pedal pressure but the volume it pumps is just OK with standard Cortian/Sierra calipers don't use it with bigger calipers.

The only reason bore and volume pumped is important is to deal with a stuation when something goes wrong with the system and you have to pump the pedal.
