Yes, DOS became part of Ordnance Survey, and now go under the name of OS
International. The library holdings, including air photos, of the former
DOS are now held there. Include air photos of Belize. You should contact

With reference to Overseas Survey Directorate it is indeed now part
of the Ordnance Survey in Southampton.
 
As regards Belize you might also contact the Department of Geography
(Dr Peter Furley) at Edinburgh University as they have been
involved with the Belize Agricultural Census and other projects
since the early 1970's. I think they probably have complete Arc/Info
coverage of Belize at a reasonably large scale (I am not sure what),
plus landsat images and son on.
