Really when it comes to the rear shocks, imho is that they fit your car correctly. (All Morgans are different sir) they need to be “circa” 8.5 in at full compression & 12 in at full extension. You can get a good idea of what your car needs using a tape measure & some trigonometry. (Posted on TM some time ago)
Morgans have so little movement available, in that the car either rides along on the shocks internal stops or hangs on the shock at full extension. Getting ones that fit to prevent that is imho a must.

Time will tell.

New tyre only 300 miles ? I assume recently fitted then ?

If so the tyre monkey has caught the inner seal with the lever or the nasty air tool bead breaker, I've had the same & they don't admit catching it - you just find a slow puncture a few days later banghead

You may struggle to get a good seal from a patch-up as silicone does not stick well to existing, I had to grind out all the split area

Spot on I think Cooperman, my thoughts exactly and happens when removing a tyre. You can bodge it but send it to NWS and they will do it properly
