Speedo pinion gear.

Just sorting through some spares and came across part number 255571
255570 is the number for the Daimler LQ but I cannot find reference to 255571
Any ideas?
Does anyone know the part number on the 15/18?
Could it be for countries who drive on the wrong side of the road and measure in Km?
Any help identifying the vehicle will be much appreciated.

Metric or imperial, the speedo would almost certainly be the same apart from the speed graduations on the dial and the gears driving the odometer, although personally I would doubt there would have been a metric version in those days, although I may well be wrong! I’m not familiar with the LQ at all, but could it be possible that the car came with 2 different back axle ratios? That would certainly explain the different part numbers to account for the different speeds of the gearbox output shaft.
