AFAIR back when I got my photocard, every staffed BR could make one for

I think that's right - basically they were card blanks with serial
numbers, on which they wrote the name of the person, stuck the
passport photo on, then covered it with clear sticky film.

I worked at Kings Cross (mainline) in 1983/4/5/ and issued many in the
way that you state.

What is of (slight) concern is that the OP states that he was "sold"
them or is he talking about a Railcard or something ?

There were some enterprising staff around in the 80s, but I don't know
any who sold ID cards ! Left luggage offices were always renown for
the "one ticket for a group" scam. Especially when you had made sure
the group would be back before you went home !
