Swinging Radio England Fun 50, 17th September 1966

Per Arne Berggren has very kindly provided two incomplete Swinging Radio England charts (the other one is here). He says: “Please find attached a couple of charts from Swinging Radio England - the upper part only unfortunately. I was not a regular listener since the receiving conditions of the signal from Radio England in Kristiansand, South Norway, where I grew up, was not that good.”
 
We asked if anyone could provide the rest of this chart and Terje Isberg, who was listening in Sweden, has contributed some of the lower chart positions, marked with asterisks (*).
 
Can anyone tell us when Swinging Radio England's chart changed from a “Boss 40” to a “Fun 50”?

** Our two contributors disagree over the position of Yellow Submarine.
*** Terje thinks this was at number 36 but he can't be absolutely certain because of poor reception.
