The request for driver identification should be answered within 28 days. Otherwise a more serious offence is committed.
The clocks went back to GMT on 27 Oct, so if the offence was committed "well before the clocked [sic] changed" you may have already missed the deadline.
If the time on the photos clarify that they are in GMT, then, IMO, it doesn't provide you with a defence, regardless of whether the offence was committed during BST or GMT.
