This is a flatback-9, wide date, pointed 5... I am not sure if the mark below the tail of the 5 is a faint double-punch impression or just a mark on the coin...is it raised?
Looked at my 1945's.... there is one with the 5/5 visible below the tail of the 5 that looks just like the coin that you have pictured and all other markers look the same... So I'm pretty sure that you have a matching 5/5 but its not one that Charltons included in the 68th.
1945 is one of the most interesting dates of the wartime halves. there are loads of varieties and grade wise , hard to find much nicer than your MS64. Lots more varieties out there I am certain!
