P51 Identity

I took this photo of a P51 at the Halfpenny Green airshow 210883 with a 110 camera.
I always thought that it was G-HAEC (Now Big Beautifull Doll owned by Rob Davies). It appears that it can not be, as G-HAEC was not brought into the country untill 1985 as confirmed by this months Aeroplane Monthly.
The colours are very similar so if its not G-HAEC what is it?????

Interesting that the programme shows an illustration of a Mustang that looks very much the same as G-HAEC would look when it arrived in the UK 2 years later.
