Catalogs are online for both the US and Europe operations. Why would you expect the US operation to offer less?

The U.S. officially imported the Mini only up until around 1970 (that's not an exact date). However, the Mini continued production for almost 30 more years after that. The car continued to evolve a bit during that 30 years.
If you were planning to stock parts in the U.S. you'd base your inventory and offerings on what is supposed to be here.... it would reflect the early cars, not those more common in Europe with fuel injection, ECUs, and security systems. Since it costs money to maintain inventory, it makes no sense for Moss to stock late model parts in the U.S. That's why I expect their U.S. offerings to be only a portion of what they sell in Europe.
Of course, Moss could be targeting the recent owners who have imported late model cars with questionable VIN numbers and pedigrees.

I was wrong. The website has only BMW MINI pieces listed. You can order a classic mini catalog but I don't think it's available yet.

Not important but 1967 was the last legal year at that time. Also last year for big Healeys, glass covered headlights and a list of other items. Official reason given as safety but I think an attempt to get rid of foreign cars.
