I don´t think they were made by Arch Motor, but not certain.
Does anyone know the full history of this very important car, being the first formula Ford car ?

Cars carried a dash plate with the following data
AT [for Allan Taylor]/FF or what ever type/chassis number
chassis numbers seem to be sequential regardless of model - so there is only one series of numbers [however, I've got very limited observations of chassis plates, so there may be one series for FF and another for F3 and another for FB]
The plate also carried the date the car was finished
thus one Mk14 carried the following
AT/FF/10
10 November 1967
It was called a Mk14 in 1973 when this plate observation was made, but probably started life as a Mk11, since AT/FF/19, built in January 1968, was called a Mk11 when observed in late 1969.
