I think Mark of the Devil has a fairly good chance of passing uncut now. The BBFC were a lot stricter back in 2003. None of the violence was actually directed at her breasts which would have made things a lot worse. There were 3 cuts. The first cut (where the film lost some dialogue) the camera mainly kept its distance. The panning shot was just a several second shot, no lingering close ups. And the 3rd cut was a 2s side shot (MS). Over the years the BBFC have shown that they are not quite as strict on sexualised nudity as they used to be. See the Hollywood Strangler, Hitchhike to Hell, Hostel 2 and Flavia the Heretic for example.
