One of the British India 'M' class ....MERKARA, MULBERA, MORVADA from Swan Hunter Wallsend 1971, MANORA 1970.
Or AMRA / ASKA 1969/70 from Swan Hunter ex Readhead yard.
Looks too big to be ZAIDA / ZIRA from same yard 1972?

The BISN 'M's is my belief also. I am sure the two 'Z's at Redheads had white hulls with blue bands.
