The space is clearly larger post-1988, though I'm not entirely sure if they took over all of N3 or not, and even then I don't think N3 was a particularly big studio (all major news programming used N1 or N2 in mid-1980s).
If you look at the behind this scenes video, the corridor and entrance from which Terry Wogan walks at the start looks to be the same as the one in the first screen grab from Newsroom Revolution. When Michael Buerk goes on set to prepare for the bulletin, it to be the same area but has been expanded (8:15 in on the video).
@Dougal - you are correct. I've been travelling and didn't have access to my archive. The space was the same space used in this video, but expanded and upgraded. All THREE desks had a leather covering. The 'BASYS' systems were stuck under the desk for the main bulletins and left on the desk during summaries.
