Here is a photo what an SU fuel pump looks like.
Note that there have been a lot of companies who've used similar type structure for their fuel pumps over the years, which could fit into the Midget's mounting bracket. Probably some previous owner substituted one of those. Even Honda had a plastic bodied, "SU shaped" fuel pump, in the '80s (but its max flow rate is smaller than our SU so will starve your engine at high speed, ask me how I learned that).
