There were two twin brothers who were international referees at those times: Lyube Angelov SPASOV and Lyuben ANGELOV Spasov (*1.12.1949). It is not clear which one of them have refereed above games. (link:

To disambiguate these two, I believe that Lyube Spasov was in charge of games 1, 3, 4 and 6 and Lyuben Angelov of game 5 (possibly 2 as well as the Spanish diary ABC mentions Angelov, which was the name he used)
