This story would only be true if the Moroccan policeman had visited the UK in 1970 and seen Pertwee as Doctor Who then. Moroccan TV only ever showed Hartnell eps dubbed into Arabic in the late 60s. But Pertwee *did* go to Morocco in mid-1970, as evidenced by several contemporary clippings:

Brilliant, as always. The positioning of the Police Station exterior directly opposite the 'props area' between the sawmill and harem tent, means the TARDIS prop was wheeled only a short distance between scenes, and likely to be a key consideration for how the sets were arranged within the studio.

Hulke mentions Drahvins and Monoids in his 'Doomsday Weapon' novelisation. I always figured he'd remembered the names from reading the scripts or viewing old eps while researching TMoDW; there weren't many 'missing' in 1971.

Lesterson says the capsule was "hauled into the laboratory", which I think means the entire capsule is inside the building, not outside or been built around.

It looks like the 1965 Special King Size Annual.

Is it a modified Agon game board? These are a series of concentric hexagons. The boards in Kinda might just be the central 5x5 section of three larger boards, but with the outer 'rings' removed?

It's possible the stylised lettering was based on or influenced by the font on the posters for CLEOPATRA, which was released in 1963.

There's a screen grab of the scene in the "TARDIS Log" feature from DWM 76, which is a likely source.
