Ahem! :) You got me getting my own Olympia Traveller De Luxe out. From checking it, and other web searching, I can say that indubitably your photo isn't one of them, but a Litton Imperial 200n; though none the worse for that. Here's a write-up about one: https://www.londontypewriters.co.uk/product/1970s-working-litton-imperial-200n-manual-typewriter-new-ribbon-case/. Apparently the US company Litton took over Imperial in 1966, but the production continued at the Imperial works in the UK until about 1975. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Typewriter_Company. They're still apparently selling well on Ebay, and ribbons seem to be still available for them.
