Unidare storage heater asbestos?

Hi,
I hope this is the right forum to post this. So I have this storage heater in my house I want to remove and change to central heating. One plumber actually came and said it might have asbestos inside. I've contacted a specialist to check. He basically asked me to search the model online...
I could not locate a rating plate of this and could not find a similar picture online. The serial number seem large enough for any of those Unidare models listed below to be asbestos free.

Just wondering what is more advisable to do now? Just assume it contains asbestos and remove it would be about £300 as per quoted by the specialist. Or if there is a way of confirming this?
The house was built in 1968 initially with a warm air heating system which was ripped out some time ago. And the previous owner passed away, so I couldn't just ask them. The pictures are attached.
Thanks.
