It doesn't seem to have the steel panels however, if it would you should be able to see the contours because they are smaller than the glass windows of an estate. This one seems to have large glass windows, so it's more likely to be an Austin Mini Estate.

For Mk1, Austin used left door (as here), Morris the right door; same thing on Austin Mk2 with a compressed script (eg /vehicle_530171-Austin-Mini-Countryman-ADO15-1968.html ) but can't find a Morris Mk2 pic to confirm it was still on the right. However this is enough to say Austin Mk2 is a perfect match.
