Allan,

It looks like a 146 to me but just in case you think its a 147 herewith a photo for comparison,

Hi Bonnex thats great when i compare the one in the photo i posted with yours i can see your 147 has a thicker and slimmer ring around it so i can confirm now that its a 146,
many thanks for your help,its appreciated allan
