It might be worth contacting the GKN Press Office, Archives, Public Relations & explaining what you want.
Companies with military contracts usually have decent archives (unless it's really 'hush-hush' stuff)

As an aside; have you tried putting this on 'landrovernet.com'???
Bob Morrison might be able to help - if he's around
