And earlier!

You should be able to find them in a copyright library- though which
ones your school actually used might be harder to determine. Old exam
papers are usually available too - they make interesting reading.

Spherical trig and great circle navigation was still on the syllabus
when I did it as were the basics of integral and differential calculus.

For O level maths? (No O levels when I were at school in Scotland)

Yes. Certain. I refer you to Q6 and Q7 on this London board paper 1976

(looks like the full spherical trig treatment was withdrawn by then)

It was certainly in the 1975 Astronomy syllabus of the London board.
