I'm watching Part 2 right now. This time they got the photograph of Worsley going the right way. I take note that they are "cheating". The sextant they are using does appear to be a Hezzanith, but it is a micrometer drum type, not a vernier type.
FWIW, I have a 1905 Hezzanith vernier sextant, and I cannot figure out what continent I am on with it. Micrometer drums sure are easier.
