I did not see the camera as it is on the telegraph pole before
the buildings on the right (towards Longtown).

Yes, is there anything I can do to argue my case.

Give us a clue- what case do you think you have to argue? There
is no requirement for a camera to be visible.

I'd note there are 30mph terminal signs on entering the area
from both directions but there (if GSV is correct) are no
repeaters and no system of streetlighting (which would make it a
restricted road).

What do you mean by restricted road? As far as I'm aware there
are no restrictions except the speed limit.

As a HGV driver that's slightly worrying that you do not know
what a restricted road is… (a road that has a limit of 30mph
because of a system of street lighting less than 200 yards apart
unless there are signs to the contrary)
But this road is not one. So the terminal signs set the limit
upon entry but there are no repeaters to maintain it. But
there's no strict distance requirement for the frequency of
repeaters. I haven't measured the distance between the gateways
but I guess you may struggle to show the limit is not adequately
signed.

Unfortunately I can't know everything but thank you for
explaining it.
Is 42mph within the limits allowed for a SAC or am I better off
to just expect that I'm getting 6 points?
Hoping for the best outcome of 3pts and SAC (and a lesson
learned).

Yes, one should qualify for a course.
