From memory (as both D-Day MKII and War in the East took account of

Ah, that sounds about right. The sort of bodge that only Sinclair would
do! I seem to remember they altered the ULA timing for the US 525 system
which meant that only around 200 lines were visible, hence the
vertically reduced characters. The proper solution would have required
an interlaced scan, but that may not have fitted into the ULU space and
taken up too much design time.
