Hello guys, I am new in this forum, and really do know nothing about telephones at all, so that's why I'm asking the experts now: Can you ID the phones on the pictures, taken from all the Bond movies?
I have the amazing Bond Blu-Ray collection, where more or less good snapshots were possible.
To start with, here are some phones found in the 1962 movie "Dr. No".

If you have an idea about a certain phone, just post it  :)

As the 007 films are British made, many indoor scenes were filmed on soundstages in the UK, which might help to ID some of the phones.

Most of the British ones are variants of the 706 or 746. The logo on the rear above the case fixing screw / cord attachments suggests these are non-GPO ones intended for PBX use and probably sourced from a props suppler.

Most of the British phones are British Ericsson N1900-based models going by the logos on the rear of their cases:

The rest are of various european, russian and american examples as far as I can tell...
