LUCAS 18 ACR - pretty sure that is what Land rovers have and a plethora of other cars.
can't see the rear but usually there are 3 spade connectos, one 4.7 mm and two larger 6.8 mm.
the smaller one goes to ignition lamp; other end of lamp goes to 12 V
the two larger ones; both common, are the output - usually go to the starter solenoid, thus effectively go to the positive of the battery.
the body is the ground - you need good electrical contact from there to the battery negartive.
now you will tell me it has screw post terminals

It has the 4.7 and the two 6.8's but it also has another 6.8 and, as you guessed, a screw terminal.

all the haynes show 18 ACR with the 2 big 1 small spade connector.
the other 6.8 mm is probably for the suppressor - not required.
dunno what the post is for - is there any labelling of the connecitons?
can you post photo of the back showing the terminals?
