WiganAirways: Great to see you back on the thread!
Actually there was no need for you to amend your original post as, to the best of my knowledge, there was no aircraft registered as A6-AYX. As
Sandy Toad mentioned, at the time of BAKU's arrival in the UAE they had no aircraft registration system. That actually arrived later the same year, on 5th November to be precise.
BAKU was sold to Pakistan where she was registered, as you originally posted, as AP-AYX. From there she moved on to the US and was registered as N54618 and N730HP respectively and became one of those rare breeds - a US domiciled Agusta-built JetRanger.
BAKU doubtless carried her British registration during her tour in the UAE (as
Sandy Toad suggested).
Also in the UAE in '76 were these 206's belonging to ADH:

Rev&Checks: Many thanks.
Some Assorted Nostalgia:

Also in '79 was this B206B N36BL which landed on a rather steep slope in Willowbrook, New York State. The landing necessitated positioning the aircraft beneath power lines. Another angle shows the slope as being more agressive than depicted here.
If there are some American PPRuNers interested in Helitack ops from the 70's then you might enjoy this:
