Not sure it has anything to do with The Professionals, the clothing doesn't look right, they were not concerned with the whole world, as on that map, just UK. CI5 is I suppose a bit like CV5, odd.
I don't think it has anything at all to do with the Professionals, the artwork just catches the mid seventies cop/spy drama zeitgeist. I recall seeing this in a Marshall Ward mail order catalogue and wanting it desperately for xmas! Needless to say, it went the same way as the Johnny 7!
