Distributor indentification

Same 1954 100 that is almost done.
The motor was rebuilt around 1985ish and shrink wrapped.
Will add pic of dist as soon as I can figure out how to make smaller pixels to fit board.
However, the stamped numbers are
454 YH13
46422B
it has the screw type vacuum advance connection
It may or not have been replaced during the rebuild
Looking for the proper point set. Old ones are a bit corroded after 30 years of not being used.
The numbers on the distributor do not match anything at Moss or HS
Can any one help.
Again Thanks in Advance

Not all that small but it fits.

Steve, I agree Jeff is the prob best source on this side of the atlantic. I have spoken to him re my Bug eye distributor timing.
 
We got the correct points, Early BN1 distributor with two hold down screws, Holden Electrics in UK. Also cap wires and coil.
After setting initial timing the BN1 fired off after 30 plus years since it was rebuilt and wrapped in plastic.
Timed and set carbs and now ticking over at just a shade over 900 RPM.
