How to match this plaster effect?

I'm renovating an old house that was last renovated in the 70s when this beautiful(!) plaster effect was applied to all of the walls and the ceilings. We won't be keeping it on the wall but, as I can't deal with pulling all the ceilings down, what can I use to do some repairs?

I've had a go with multi, but it's just cracked (I should have seen that coming tbh).

It's a smooth finish, so I can't use anything to grainy like bonding.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Use easyfill 20.
Start with a smooth sealed surface.
Scraper or trowel to pattern.

Old plaster or old english plaster is the pattern. That's what I called it.
Think some called it Spanish troweled...see it on the outside of villas
