The timeline on this page does a pretty good job of explaining the A-series in both A and A+ forms.

As the mini aged, the parent company names have changed. Going back to the origins, there was Morris and Austin independent companies. They merged to become BMC. The A engine was in this time period. The A+ was strengthen with the external ribs. I think it was in the time frame of British Leyland and Austin Rover. Those with more exacting knowledge can correct me.
