These are indeed the Charter funnel colours of Transatlantic Carriers/Canatlantic .
TRUTH was in fact going up and down from London/Manchester to Canada during 1970 so we may assume this is the correct vessel.

I had checked the other sister-ships :
- SKAUBO (5415975), as JAG RATNA at the date
- HOLTHEIM (5153826), no mast against the accomodations
- PORTHOS (2582823), as HOEGH TRUDE at the date
But I think only the TRUTH had a pair of fairleads (for Panama ?) near the forecastle and near the poop.

If the photo was taken on December 1970, she could be TRUTH (IMO5369607).
