No, the Camels were Ribtec - the contract that killed them!

I thought originally the Camels had a numbered ID plate on the console, and all Ribtecs have a hull number moulded into the transom on the outside typically under the starboard tube. But as you've found, helpfully none of the Ribtec records seemed to survive in the transition to Ribeye! I never managed to find much info about my 9m, not sure if any one kept great track of the Camels.

Unfortunately it seems to have had all the decals /stickers removed , the hull number on the hull is still intact , and the rear plate on the transom has seen better days
