What are the signs of cooling system problems on a 1961 Elva Courier?

What should I replace at the same time?
Where labor overlaps, replace the thermostat and refill with fresh coolant whenever you change a water pump or radiator; original hoses on an older vehicle are on borrowed time.
What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 1961 Elva Courier was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.
How do I make sure a part fits my 1961 Elva Courier?
