88in S11A Lightweight 1969-70.

26RN86 was issued to a Royal Navy lightweight of this period so genuine number most probably.

Yes issued to Marines.
Royal Navy Land Rover S11A Lightweights rare as Navy only had around 30 according to my 'Bumper Book of Leaf Sprung Military Land Rovers'. :)

Both these Lightweights would be relatively new here and reinforces my suspicion that some Freewheelers filming was done on military ranges and real military vehicles and people got in on the act.
