Here are a couple of screen captures from the film Fire Maidens from Outer Space (1956) in which we see a brief glimpse of the Stirling Corner Box, S11

So I guess that would make S65 at Bignell's Corner the "other other" Barnet By Pass Box?

That only leaves S16, the "sort of" Barnet By Pass Box down on Apex Corner at the By Pass' southern end.

It's probably close, but do remember that the circle has been significantly enlarged in the intervening years. Will probably have to do a Lat/Long conversion from the OS maps to be sure.
