For "newer" owners of LR, 110 were the coiled spring version of the leaf sprung 109s ( wb increased 1")... "Defender" wasn't the name given to them until the end of the 1980's. The 110 ( after the Stage 1 109 ) were introduced before the 90 ( as a side note, only 6 or so 90"wb were made, and then they were stretched to 94", but kept the 90 name). I still have a wall poster from '85ish introducing the New 90s. Land Rover never "named" their vehicles prior to the "Discovery" ( Range Rover was considered a different marquee )
On the SeriesII forward controls, I remembered them as 109s with a second frame added on top of the 109 frame, to allow for the forward driving position. There was an "A" and a later "B" model ( it did get an inch added to the wb). I did find one reference to the "110" forward control ( Series IIB FC) in one era magazine.
