This episode is a cheapie! Half of it is recycled footage from Emma Peel episodes (the cast members and killings with the coloured background denote the recycled footage); the rest of it is recycled footage from the abandoned "The Great Great Britain Crime", filmed in late 1967 under John Bryce's production.
We have:
Wilson, while appearing in footage stolen from Murdersville also appears in footage recovered from the initially abandoned "The Great, Great Britain Crime", notably firing a sub-machinegun at Freddie Cartwright.
Freddie Cartwright is shot, mistaken for Steed as he's wearing one of Steed's suits - not only that, he's also getting out of what was originally intended to be Steed's car for the series, the maroon AC 428 Frua.
I strongly suspect the original scene in "The Great Great Britain Crime" was of Steed being ambushed by Intercrime (or Murder-International, or whoever they are...)
Intercrime was at 119 Royal Avenue, SW7.
Dubois opens the safe in 59.15 seconds, which Tara beats "at the proverbial last moment", I assume that means 59.14 seconds.
The closing credits start with the fanfare played by Izzy Pound in The Interrogators, then becomes a silent movie style soundtrack version of the theme tune.
