Button Moon (British children's series, 70s/80s)

Any chance anybody recognises this typeface, presumably created in the late 70s? Some interesting inconsistencies (eg. the lower case u and the differently shaped highlights in the bubble/balloon style). I get the impression it's no longer available, as this was used extensively during the original run, but doesn't appear on any recent official/licenced products, even the logo of the charity. Apologies for the image quality (all photos from eBay, etc.). Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I believe this is Chicago. More information here.

Unfortunately, no full digitization seems to exist.

The Extra Bold style looks like an exact match to me. Gosh, even more obscure than I suspected, but that explains a lot. Thanks so much for your help, Kevin - I never would have worked that out.

Just in case anyone finds this thread in the future and needs something fairly similar, Arista Pro Alternate might be worth a look.
