Looks like a variation of Times Roman to me.
I thought the # was Goudy due to the 4 and 5, but I was wrong.

Pleased to help mate, the only thing wrong with the font is that it has a round full stop not a square one as in your tracing.

Yep saw that nick – I think I can overcome that – even I can draw a square 😉
