Matt has checked against our resident A bodies Tigga and Passionwagon, the part number is the same. We don't have a 46 to check the part number so will take your word for it Nick.
Which one would you like Neil?

Hmm, now you have me worried Rich. Two different sizes of transmission mounts or two different sizes of strut tops?

Phew, that's a relief!
The strut top mounts are stamped with part number 520504 - sound right?

Number doesn't match the 46/66/340 transmission mounts.

The front ones are smaller than the back ones. Is that enough elaboration? Ok, I've checked my repair notes:
When I swapped the transmission on the MY78 Black Beauty, I fitted a CVT assembly from a MY89 car. Due to the failure of the two rear mounts during removal and the crap lweather outside at the time, I went rummaging in a box for some DAF ones. I decide to use all four, so the Black Beauty has 4 mounts that belong to a (now deceased) 1973 DAF 66SL holding the transmission up no problem at all.
The other day I went down to the workshop to check what bits I had for Mac. I found two car-sets of mounts:

Now the set on the left, with the failed rears are the set that was on the BB. The set on the right, with the green paint, from a MY89 CVT car.
Closer inspection shows the set that was on the BB are marked DAF (Unless someone has been there before me, I suspect they are original.) The set from the MY89 are marked with VOLVO and BOGE. Physically, bar the big washers which make hee-haw difference. They are the same rubber mountings. Not much interest to anyone else really, other than DAF owners for their needs, rather than Volvo ones.
Considering all of the above, I'm of the opinion these mounts are interchangeable between D66/V66/V300 and by extension, D46.
