I guess it is an early 2, I did think the 2s had a 3 cyl. The exposed filter, shape of the loader arms and mud guards make it an early one to me. The Nuffield skid was not used until about 1964/65.

The 10/42 is the 3cyl Nuffield and right for a JCB2 so is 4cyl a typo ?

No it's a four cylinder it's the first JCB I have ever owned so I know nothing about them but I am a mechanic so I know the engine layout just seems a bit odd like you say

Unfortunately some very knowledgeable people, particularly on JCB time line and different models, don't appear to look in any more. @Martyn Henley @Mark.Rive @topkit

I wonder if it's an early JCB 3?

The slew pots are different (I think).

Unfortunately I don't have much info on the early JCB backhoe loaders.
