Here is the official data on the coils:

MK III:   Lucas #5195    3.1 to 3.5 ohms
MK IV:  Lucas #45232   1.43 to 1.58 ohms
1500:   Lucas #45243   1.30 to 1.45 ohms

As you can see, a 6-volt ballasted coil has a lower primary resistance.
BTW, to accurately measure these low resistance values, you need a decent 
digital meter.
