the amount by which the aggregate of—
his notional annuity,
the annual rate of any allowances which might (but for the 1971 Act) have been paid to him under the Regulations of 1947 to 1969,
the annual rate of any addition which would be made under section 6(5) of the 1971 Act if he were in receipt of an official pension of an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) and (ii) above beginning on the day following the end of his period of F.S.S.U. service, and
