Look carefully at the foot of the L E S text near the beginning of the playout. Analogue tape dropout. BetaSP copy?
If it was from a CRV (Component Laser Disc) that were used for ident playout - then they suffered from drop-out too. Could well be that the CRVs were dubbed off to DigiBeta for old times sake? I presume the original CRVs were mastered from D1 - though later idents in that era could have been DigiBeta.
(D1 was used from the 80s to the early-to-mid 90s for high end graphics, then DigiBeta replaced it from the mid-90s)

I know you wouldn't have known, noggin, but I'm a VT Operator and well aware of D:1, Digi-Beta etc etc. In fact, my nickname was 'Mr D:3' in one post, in the late nineties, as I was the only member of staff fully trained to operate them!
That Logo is not right. There have no reason not to have the correct logo...
What's wrong with it?
The word 'Wales' looks off-centre in both the recon symbol and the screencap of the original. It's very jarring...
I assume it's to do with the italics. The centring of the text adheres to the slight diagonal orientation from the BBC line in relation to the Wales line. Looks awkward.
The italic style of the whole of the BBC branding at that point was a well-documented issue, as Martin Lambie-Nairn discussed in his pitch for the 1997 rebrand.
