In case it was real, 30 GBP was definitely a bargain ...

Yep, real IMO as well but luckily not a one-off, as far as I know more than one copy exists. A bargain for the buyer nonetheless (unfortunately not me)

be very easy in these days of commercial digital printing to fake one, I speak from previous knowledge

Well, even a faked proof (if it's a proof, indeed) takes a bit of work and material easily worth 30 GBP ...
Or have things changed so very much

A proof wouldn't have a barcode.

Why not? You can easily use a bogus bar code, just to see where that ugly white spot will come in the whole concept.
We do that all the time

Could be, but an original poof would be of 1990 ...

East West wouldn't use a random bar code so an easy check would be to use a service like GEPIR, which will tell you who was registered to use that specific bar code number.
