I nabbed these just now:

The BT Merlin Tonto branded box must be rare, so will be a nice original addition to my Merlin Tonto assortment. I am rather hoping that the 20 cartridges have Tonto/OPD stuff on them that I can check out and rescue. I will report back here with findings.

Oh well, pretty boring in the end.
The cream Transform BT branded box is a peach, like that.
Of the carts - 3 were jammed/unreadable. Looks like it was just a random lot that someone threw together. Most contain Spectrum stuff. 5 were BT Merlin Tonto format carts and they all contain .aba files (no underscore in OPD file names). The files are from 1988 and are manager report spreadsheets that contain a lot of acronyms and figures. There are a couple of manager names and some of the headings involve 'exchanges', so perhaps they used to belong to BT.
