This is old friend 894 FPC. However, I didn't know where to enter "Series II" as can be seen on these pages:
/v137788.html
/v544933.html
/v143295.html

Additionally, I noticed some Series III Wolseleys have "Series III" entered as a chassis, unlike the Series II Wolseleys mentioned above:
/v1498910.html and my resultant "clone" /v1808867.html

I'm slightly confused as to what is the correct approach.

I can’t help, I’ve looked at them and can’t see how 1, 2 and 3 in the “Mk” panel changes to Roman.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Wolseley Naming. It takes several years of deep study in an isolated mountain retreat before you can hope to master it. And I probably haven't mastered it yet, but can explain your queries ....

For the 6/90s, enter 1,2 or 3 in the "Mk" field and our wonderful software pixies automatically convert it to Series I, II or III. "Easy peasy, lemon squeezy" as the old Fairy washing-up liquid ads used to say. Similar conversions work for lots of other things.

The [Series III] chassis references are a different kettle of fish, as my mum used to say. They apply to pre-WW2 Wolseley ranges and their unchanged resumption after WW2 for a few years in Series III form. Wolseley (and their Morris clones) launched phases across all their models at the same time which were known as Series I, II & III. So to take the examples you picked up, they are Wolseley Series IIIs, not specifically 14/60 Series IIIs. Maybe looking at this list of all the [Series III] entries across the individual models makes it clearer. Similar can be generated for [Series I] and [Series II] if needed but hopefully that is enough to demonstrate the system. And as said it applies to Morrises as well in the same way.
