Mike, both Pinus pinaster and Pinus pinea have needles in pairs, and are difficult to tell apart except for cones - where any present and were they prickly (pinaster) or smooth (pinea)

I don't have a cone but I remember it as being ovoid maybe 10-12 cm long. The seed is about 20 mm long, pale with a dark coating.

I have added photo of pine cone and portion showing seed cases left over from demolition by yellow tailed black cockatoos.
