I suppose. Just seems a bit short sighted; if your taking a photo why not a colour one? Cost maybe?
Think B&W gives a sharper image especially for the purposes of printing in a newspaper which wasn't the best anyway.
I'm sure that's Begbie (Robert Carlyle) from Trainspotting in the Ivy House one :lol:

Looks as if their shirts were in the wesh.

Colour printing in newspapers didn't really take off until the mid to late 80's as it was still in it's infancy.
The "Today" newspaper owned by a complete twat called Eddie Shah used the available technology of the day to print this in Warrington.
Much to the detriment of the NGA workers - who were done out of a job by him.
