As far as I am aware the tailpipe and the exhaust silencer box are the same for both Riley and Wolseley 1500 however the front pipes are different. Hope this helps? NP

I cannot help the OP with the Wolseley question, as I have never seen a 1500. I would suspect that the Wolseley front pipe is smaller than that of the Riley by virtue of lower HP, smaller valves, less carburetion etc. of the motor?
FWIW my Riley wears a 1.5" OD front pipe, (engine to silencer) the rear pipe (silencer to rear) is 1.375" pipe. We had a discussion on the 'old' forum and evidently the smaller diameter tail pipe was to attenuate noise.
The silencer is offset pipes as well.

Yes it fits.. should be identical to the Riley part.. the exhaust manifold is same dimensions and uses self same connecting clamp, although the single carb wosleely has a different inlet manifold and later versions had combined inlet/exhaust manifold ..
