The "H" engine code indicates it's a '67 1500cc single port engine, which means that it was replaced somewhere along the way. The 1970 was offered stock with a "B" series 1600cc single port engine.

This doesn't mean that your engine is definitely a 1500cc, as it's possible that it was rebuilt to 1600cc.
Hi
So am i right in saying that the car was built as a Standard 1600cc
but had its engine replaced to become a 1500cc - although its possible
that the replacement 1500 engine was supped up to a 1600cc

Thanks
