Richard I think you are right. It is probably a Lucas. The only number I have found is in the cap. FO-420.
Rick,
The Lucas distributor is recognisable by the securing screws, which go through slotted lugs, allowing timing adjustment by moving whole body, unlike the US distributors. The number from your cap does not look like a Lucas marking, but could be from a pattern cap of another maker.
