Unfortunately not, this is the correct style of glass washer bottle and they are rare as rocking horse poo...

 

As a matter of interest, the plastic Trafalgar washer bottle was available on some 850's more or less from the outset of Mini production, and the glass one was invariably changed for a plastic during routine dealer servicing too.

"Two types of washer system were used on both Austin and Morris cars.  Standard on de-luxe and optional on basic cars.
Wingard glass bottle and accompanying bracket and pump.  The correct bottle will have UGB 16 embossed on the bottom.  It is a 16 floz capacity.  Glass bottle fitted to Morris cars up until chassis number 34014.  Plastic Tudor has no end date recorded."
