Hi all.

It looks like it, but the baseplate picture is too blurred for me to be sure.
There is a Bulgarian variation which looks the same, except that the baseplate obviously says "Made in Bulgaria" rather than "Made in England".
The Bulgarian variation is probably at least as rare as the multipack issue made in England, but it is much less sought after.
A lady in Italy is generally more likely to have the English one rather than the Bulgarian one...

I just re-checked her email, she gave a description of the base inscription and says it says made in England

Made in England base. I guess it is the real thing then, also a clear rear window without ridges.
