MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Midget Wiper Arms?

I admit to being an interloper from the MGA forum but I am hoping that you may be able to help.
I have a pair of wiper arms on my MGA which I believe are from a later MG midget.
They have a screw operated clamp on the spindle end which secures the arm to the spindle.
The reason for this interest is that most of the present repro orginal design push-on arms are not very secure and keep falling off.
I will attach a couple of pics of the wiper arms to see if anyone recognises them and can tell us the part number.
Thanks

Hi Colyn,
My '71 Sprite uses that exact sort. Last time l replaced them l got them from Sussex Classic Car parts. Their web site lists item with photos so you can double check they match what you are after.

According to Moss, they were fitted up to about 1971, before the end changed to a straight bayonet fitting.

Thanks Guy and Dave,
