Phew, the cavalry arrived.
Quad is B.L. 833.
I believe rather than 49, release year for Third Man was 50.
BIDL looks to be B.L. (three figures).
Game still on.
Phew, almost waved the white flag last night after the Big Bruce email.

Just had an email back from Greg Edwards in the UK (Rare Film
Posters), who I asked after a suggestion from John Reid and Vesna
(from the thread on Vintage Movie Posters Forum
<http://vintagemoviepostersforum.com/discussion/1108/rare-english-one-sheet-the-third-man/p1>)
- I told him the queries and pointed him to the MoPo thread.
He kindly proved an answer very quickly, and I quote:
/"As the film was released in 1949 any original poster would have a 4
figure number in the bottom right corner which should start with a
'9' and end in an 'A'. If the poster is from 1950-51 it would have a
3 figure number but with no 'A'. From some time in 1952 onwards it
would be a 4 figure number, also with no 'A'."//
/
he also said:
/"The artwork is identical to the British quad. The British Film
Institute have a copy which I have attached for you (unfortunately
not big enough to check the numbering)."/
I bet you are all rushing off to see what the BIDLL one says, I know
and...whoops, it's my dinner time.
Talk soon.
