A few notes to the original results:

Grid: 3-2-3-2-etc. for a standing start.

Alex Moss running #69. This car being the red ex-Demon Tweeks car normally wearing #67 and the 9 does see to be of a different font of the 6.

A few shots of Brian Chatfield's Rover is seen.

Paul Harmer's Vauxhall seen of a couple of occasions with #48 and what looks like 14" steel rims!

That makes sense- Harmer's Astra was an ex-prodsaloon, which Paul also used in road saloon and other club racing, so the steel rims wouldn't be a great surprise, as I think many of the prodsaloon Astras raced on them in '85/6, as they were standard fitting on the Astra GT/E

The red Hodgetts Corolla seemed to vary between #67 and #69 depending on who was racing it- As you say, #69 here with Moss, and I think for Tony Dron at Donington later in the year, but #67 at the Oulton 2-driver race with Needell/Hodgetts (with a clearly different-sized 6 & 7 on a pic I've seen).The car was also used at a couple of ETCC/WTCC races, so the team must have spent a fair amount of time peeling race numbers off and replacing them...
Other than Hodgetts being in the white Toyota GB car with #66, I'm still not sure which driver raced which CHMS Corolla with which number for a fair part of the '87 BTCC season...
