E-mail by Chris Gray, 7-8-2023: "Might have been done by my father, Anthony Gray of Stamford Bridge Studios, Chelsea. I know he worked on a Churchill for Jersey and am pretty sure it was a relief. I believe he and the committee that commissioned his work did not enjoy a happy relationship. It is possible they might have declined to acknowledge his moral rights. "
