I can see why you're thinking
I can see why you're thinking Lacinipolia cuneata. Two others that look suspiciously similar (to me) and might occur in your range and time-frame are Spiramater lutra and Mamestra curialis. I suspect there may be some helpful size differences. Best of luck!

Much appreciated!
My bet would be Spiramater lutra but I'll wait for an expert as Mamestra curialis still looks possible.
