I recall another case where Anselm pointed out that the B part of the tune was actually a single 16 bar phrase, not the more typical two 8 bar phrases. Iain, are you confident thats not the case here?

I am no expert (and 45 years since my last music lesson) but for curiosity I tried looking at John Chambers ABC tune finder. That showed a link to a score on the traditional tune archive http://tunearch.org/wiki/Lady_Charlotte_Murray_(1)

It looks to me as if it might be a 16 bar B part. The first part has two dots for a repeat at the thick double bar line at the end of the second line of the score. Then four lines (16 bars) without any similar repeat marker.
