I have attached a screen shot of what I think is the original font.

I have run it through multiple online resources to identify fonts and have not found an exact one. The key points I noticed on the font were the shape and width of the lower case "e" the curvature of the bottom of the "9" and spacing after the "1".

Texta Narrow came the closest (after adjusting the boldness) but the the 1 is still wrong.
I agree with you there Kato - the font that Marc is quoting is probably not the original font but as you said after OCR was applied - I used the one I did trying to get my spacing and size of letters as close as I could to the original that I have (i.e. for instance the RDF Sourcebook which I used as a guide as how a Sourcebook should look) but using a more modern font
