The FFRR armature takes a square receiver type drop plate tow hitch - this is bolted to a backing plate on the "hitch" and can be removed to replace it wih anything else that will fit into the same bolts positions. I converted mine to take a Freelander1 Bike rack and I can still use it as a tow hitch as well as the bike rack is mounted on a plate between the backing and drop plate hook. This is what it looks like

It looks like what you need is the armature, basically it's a subframe that has the square receiver built into it and bolts on under the car - it was LRs attempt to make one system for all markets and has interchangeable fittings that go into the square receiver. I will scan the picture of it in the morning and also take a photo of what is on my car 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |
