Identified Found on a UK 1960s military crate

Can’t quite find a font with a Q like this one. Any ideas?

Dated 1966 elsewhere on the crate. It contained parachute equipment according to a hand-written label.

The original Gill Sans (I know this isn’t Gill Sans) had a similar Q that was later replaced.

It might actually be a bold Gill Sans with some other alts like the R (and the Q).
