Appreciate the input but there are thousands of portable record players (near 600 right now on eBay UK and close to 3,000 on eBay US ... though, oddly, next to no vintage on either); too open of a category without at least a brand or something to narrow it.
What an interesting subject. I guess the term Dansette became a sort of catch-all term for the dozens of brands of portable record player available.
I've posted a query on a vintage audio equipment forum just in case someone recognises it. You never know.
I didn't actually post to any vintage audiophile pages but in Googling it does seem to come-up as a subject of discussion on a few, but mostly in a "here are some cool incidences of record players in movies" way and not anything specific.
And we have a hit! Apparently it's a Dynatron RG20 Safari battery powered radiogram, as also featured in that other 1962 Pinewood-shot epic Carry On Cruising.
"Dr. No was a British produced film, made at Pinewood Studios. Extensive location footage was shot in Jamaica, but I'm pretty sure this scene took place in the UK."
The bungalow used was at the Sans Souci resort in Jamaica--interiors too.

The interiors of Miss Taro's flat were shot at Pinewood; I can't access my image library right now but there are shots of Young directing Connery in which the tops of the walls and studio lights are visible.

Good to know--guess the locals were gilding the lily a bit--not surprising!
HI THERE. I WAS BROWSING THE INTERNET FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE STEREO USED IN THE DR NO AND CARRY ON CRUISING MOVIES WHEN I FOUND YOUR DISCUSSION. I ACTUALLY OWN THAT PARTICULAR ONE! MY MUM AND DAD USED TO LIVE NEAR THE PINEWOOD STUDIOS AND EVERY SO OFTEN PROPS WOULD BE SOLD OFF. MY MUM BOUGHT THE STEREO AND FOR AROUND 40 YEARS IT WAS USED EVERYDAY AS A RADIO IN MY DADS BARBER SHOP. I HAVE IT NOW, NOT IN THE BEST OF CONDITIONS BUT i COULD NEVER PART WITH IT.

One thing which should make it easier it that asymmetrical lid.

Hope you have more luck!

Battery-powered, interesting: Probably one of those weird sizes which hasn't been made in decades.
