does look very similar to that:

Ferrari Dinos/308 etc. use 'Cam Gears' steering racks.

Easy money if you can get away with it ! But presumably anybody looking for a Stratos rack would know what he is looking at - maybe not recognising it as mini but certainly recognising it as not the real thing ?

I think Minis don't have the 360 groove in the pinion to column pinch.
The Stratos might be an 1100 or Morris 1000?
Anyhow, here's a Metro comparison:

Does this mean an MGF based Dino replica has an authentic steering rack?
