Not ruling out MkIII but I think it less likely. Interesting partial registration; could it be Belfast 'OI 243'which looks better for the spacing? I cannot determine the dates for OI Belfast series registrations. However Wikipedia makes it too late being April 1969 to April 1982 so either re-registered or a false one for the movie.
