1510 prefix engines are from the Series 2 era, 2.25 Litre and fitted to both 88 and 109 models yours would date from early 1960.
Cannot advise on hard top sorry.

The rear corner upper cappings of the tub have a hole for the hood stick clamp to bolt through, if a soft top has not been fitted, this hole may not have been drilled through the aluminium panel below. With the hardtop in place the hole is obscured by the rubber seal, however if you know where the hole should be you should becable to feel from below if the panel has been drilled.

I believe the teeth are common to all 86/88 screens, but not certain.

My station wagon does have the screen supports inside for when the screen is folded down but on another station wagon, they have been left off. (Or removed)

The British Motor Museum archive - just came back with the name of the first dealer the vehicle was delivered toThere's a Grosvenor Motor Company Limited in Reading but I've never heard of a place called Rhye - and nothing shows under that name on a Google Map search.
"The recorded dealer for Land Rover Series I 5-710-3514 is Grosvenor Motor Company Limited, Rhye"
My own experience with the BMHT archive was that the record for mine was very badly handwritten/partially undecipherable and when I queried the response, they were good enough to supply me with a photo of the record from which I did manage, with the benefit of some idea of its first owner, to identify where it was dispatched to.
The fact that further digging revealed that it was diverted to another site was a whole new story!
A polite query on their interpretation of the location might pay dividends.

Would the fact the windscreen frame has the “teeth” for attaching a hood suggest that the hardtop and windscreen frame didn’t start life together?
I would take a stab in the dark and say it is likely that unless placed as a special order a lot of the short wheel bases went down the line all the same until it came to putting the tops on, so it is possible that they all got sharks teeth frames, or perhaps they ran out of blank ones from time to time, of perhaps the fitter just forgot. On the other hand most long wheel base trucks and station wagons don't seem to have them.

Rhyl makes a great deal of sense as the reg as LFF xxx that it was given in 1980 by the DVLA suggests the regional theme was Wales ( "FF" was Merionethshire until 1974)
No. As Dollar Bill stated in your other thread, Merioneth only got to HFF by 1964.
Undoubtedly a more recent issue, probably after number sold off.

just wondering if the canvas is fitted properly?
As the straps hanging down behind the seats should be attached to little hoops on the top of the windscreen?
But if you had a hardtop these brackets might not be their.?
