It definitely has a polypropylene smell about it, similar to a plastic water container.
After lightly rubbing it all down with 240 grit paper I sprayed the bottom of the case with "Plastic Primer" from Halfords.
It was the nearest match to the original grey. When dry I gave it a good layer of wax polish and rub to remove some of the matt finish appearance.
It played through a stack of 6, 45's with no problems at all.
Here are some more photos.
In the photo of the right side you will see that I had to add 2 screws to hold the bottom of the case in as it was still distorted and sticking out, I did the same on the other side to match.
Not an ideal restoration but I think it looks presentable now and works quite well.
