Hmm, the font search@... thinks it's "Flyer Black Condensed"
( http://www.linotype.com/13098/flyerblackcondensed-font.html )

That looks too heavy though, and the zero's certainly wrong as it has no 
slash. I only had a bad image of a BBC keyboard to go from, though; someone 
with access to a real machine or with a better photo might want to make sure I 
didn't screw up in answering the questions that identified that font :)

*somewhere* at Bletchley there's a bag of printer golfballs - I'll see if I 
can find it when I'm back (should be there the weekend after next)

cheers
