I do appreciate answer - thanks for that. Whilst I would love to put the details you ask for I belong to a cryptic crossword club and we actually dont get any detail just the crossword itself.
They are out of newspapers but the name of the paper is cut off so there is no clue as to where it is from. I belong to a cryptic crossword group thru a group called U3A (University of the Third Age) which is in Australia
I'm sure you will get help even if you don't have the name of the puzzle.
Posting the clue with the letter count & ??s for your unknown letters is just great.
I wish everyone did that.
