Actually, Repulse went right to her end with the original 1917 bridgework (albeit with various add-on modifications) and only Renown got the big box tower in her major refit. So it's Renown in this footage.
would that be the old Renown at 0:39. could be Repulse but she was with force Z near singapore in 1941 where of course she was sunk by the japs with P.O.W.
from 0:42 to about 0:53 you get a better look at her, the 3 turrets mean she's a battlecruiser and the british tower design of the bridge structure would also suggest a capital ship so from what i can work out she could only be the Renown or Repulse, more likely the Renown as you know Repulse was sunk in 41..

Not sure, but I believe that is the HMS Berwick at 0:35 with three funnels.
