Looks xS 1234 format with the S suggesting a Scottish issue. edit: I think, probably US8?70 (US8770?) after adjusting contrast and negative black/white adjustments also Glasgow registered I think. alternatively GS8?70 (GS8770?) or CS 8?70)... -- Last edit: 2015-12-29 16:07:39

However I'm unaware if they were all marketed under one brand in the UK?? -- Last edit: 2020-08-27 16:42:26
