Sinclair didn't bring the 128K+ to the UK until early 1986 because he wanted to run down the 48K+ stock at Christmas.
Amstrad bought Sinclair in spring 1986 and they ran down the remaining 128K+ stock, meanwhile the grey +2 was already ready to manufacture - they'd already designed the case and reversed engineered the 128K+ to get a head start. It was in the shops by that autumn.

The closest matches seem to be Helvetica Bold (CSS weight 700) for the main letter and Helvetica Demi-Bold (600) for the symbols and keywords but some symbols like @ # and ~ are slightly different.
