Some more info on the clock + a photo of the back
It was very dirty and dusty. The Bakelite was black with grime, the face has many age related marks (that don't show in the photo), and the mechinism was very "sticky" , but has freed up after numerous starts/stops. Close study of the face shows no sign of over painting of the background or lettering. The "Austin" script is the same texture and colour as the numbers and minute markings. All this add up to a genuine article, but what I need is a photo of one hanging in an Austin Dealer's showroom !
