At the back of my mind (dusty and cobwebby in there!), there's a nagging thought - this lathe may have come from the Plymouth Naval Dockyard (Devonport) and that plate "Yard Nr 33, 1955" may be an asset plate. The dockyard workshops were rebuilt sometime after 1957, maybe 1961, and so this lathe may have been surplus around then.
