Could this be here? Obviously the clay mine dump is less prominent and covered in vegetation.

And this is a similar view/skyline to here. Thoughts?

On second thoughts this isn't a good comparable, but there are better ones along the stretch of the A30.

I think this is possible match, bearing in mind that the A30 has been widened.

If you google on Hawkstor China Clay works, some say it was a landmark on the A30 and you'll find a photo of the eighties for the spot:
It fits with the old map;
So perhaps not a 100% proof, I think you found the right spot and it solves also the Fork question and filling another gap in the route:
My thinking is that the fork in the road used to be here:

We'll not know until we find a location from the 15th between Bodmin and the RAC box at Whiddon Down

The any suggestions on the AA box?
My idea so far; Blackdown Hills, Monkton near Honiton. Problems, skyline don't exactly match, it is not on the route, riding in the wrong direction (Perhaps the 11th? perhaps the footage is mirrored?)

Maybe also A30 north of Bodmin?

Although there"s no AA telephone box on the old map

You could be right about the A30 and there is an AA-box:

(It's difficult to match Streetview, perhaps impossible, with the screenshots but the landscape near Blisland with walls and hedges it could do.)

Looking at this again I think this is a good match

Although this small section seems correct - they go onto the roundabout, pass the turn off for the M4, take the A4 exit, pass the trucks stopped on the right, passed the Fosters pub (there is a building on the right which I suspect is correct but I can't find any reference to it being called Fosters), then passed the Wheatsheaf on the left.
Leaving Henley-on-Thames via A423? Not the same level anymore...
