Yes. You have a Lucas 59D4 distributor (4-cyl, negative earth).
The Aldon Ignitor code is 4-LU243 (same for Pertronix) - see
http://www.vintageperformance.com/retrorockets/lucas.htm
This was used on 998 Mini and Metro A+ engines from 1974 on.

The Lumenition Magnetronic code is MTK007.
The Lumenition Optronic fitting kit is FK117.
