Is this M12 resited 200 metres south ?

I found the location of this second box but whether its M12 resited or not I don't know.

After going through the frames I've found the following evidence:

Crossroads (Kennington Rd / Lambeth Rd) , Trough, 2 phone boxes, letter box and curved road ( Brook Drive ) tramlines, Christ Church  Also this box has a siren.

I'm not sure it can be as I belive the resited box was on the fourcourt of the new police station.  So the police station (which is quite distinctive) would be visible.

So, I'm sure this is the location of the 2nd box in "Genevieve" but I can't find one like it in the database or any reference to it.

I suppose it's possible the m12 box was moved twice once due to building work and once when the police station was finished.  I suspect looking at the police station it was constructed arround the time of the filming.

I'm wondering if the relocation site was never at the police station as the police station would be in the line of site of M2 the postition shown in genevive would make much more sense than having m12 and m2 so close together.
