From the S-R-S Scottish SB Register they give the closure for Morar LC GB as 1985, when the crossing was converted to an AOCL (Auto Open Crossing Locally monitored).
The railway signalling over the crossing changed to RETB on 6 December 1987 controlled from Banavie SC - North Workstation. However, this may not have changed anything here at that time, I do not know.
More information on RETB is here www.scot-rail.co.uk/page/RETB
The crossing today is AOCL+B, it was previously just AOCL but had half barriers fitted. All Up trains have to stop in the platform and press a plunger to start the crossing operation, then proceed when they get the white light.
I did not take a photo of the box but it can be seen here www.railscot.co.uk/locations/M/Morar/

The quite accurate location of the box was 167782 (Easting) 792898 (Northing), seen here on the NLS maps maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=14&lat=56....
