As the only one without kingposts fwd of the superstructure and the only one which hadn't been lengthened, DUNKERY BEACON is the only possibility among the ones mentioned. In the late 1960s her name would have been MARANON, under the Peruvian flag and operated by Corporacion Peruana de Vapores. That does look like it could be a Peruvian flag at the stern.

Crowborough Beacon looks likely

http://www.photoship.co.uk/JAlbum%20Ships/Old%20Ships%20C/slides/Crowborough%20Beacon-01.html

Hereford Beacon & Ivinghoe Beacon are similar but have kingposts in front of bridge all built by De Noord

This is not the typical EAC design/profile of that time. The funnels were higher/not so compact, and had no black band on the top. The EAC-sterns were also different from this one. Niels
