It's the Pennine model by Woodall Nicholson. The rest would be an Eeny, meeny, miny, moe situation to me, so I hand over the mic to @dsl for the Wolseley-Austin-Vanden Plas-ADO details.

Edit: Let's have a 1965 advertisement for documentation:

The twin trim strips suggest A60, but the hearse conversion removes a lot of the things I would normally look for. I don’t think it’s a big Farina because the wheels don’t look chunky enough.

Confirmed as 1969 Austin A60 Cambridge Hearse by Woodall Nicholson (YUL 241), used as a working hearse and filmwork, including this series. One of only 2 known survivors, the other being HEY 770F. Both appeared together in an episode of "The Crown" covering the 1966 Aberfan disaster - we don't have these appearances listed, but lots of location pics online of both with some other interesting hearses:

dsl wrote Magazine mention that a 1969 Austin A60 Cambridge Hearse by Woodall Nicholson (YUL 241) will be part of the "1966" Aberfan scenes, along with HEY 770F. Extensive set of location photos here, including a VdP 4-Litre R (FPR 96D, listed by DVLA as 1800cc) and a 1959 Armstrong-Siddley (5359 IA - a 346 discussed in comments here) - and other stuff. The lead Rolls-Royce is a 1948 Hearse JYV 986 by Alpe and Saunders owned by ER Hickmott, funeral directors in Tunbridge Wells - here and here.


YUL 241 apparently also appeared in something Monty Python - no further detail exactly what, but we don't seem to have it.
