I suspect a caller ID of: "Ambassador - Court of Saint James, London" might
cause your curiosity to trump your determination.

I don't recall "caller ID" being available in 1965, and not many people
had answering machines or phones with "ringer off" switches, either.

The "ringer off" switch was the plug in (out of) the wall.
