I'll guess it was Aerovias Guest, operating a leased Mexicana Comet, running Mexico City-Miami-Bermuda-Santa Maria-Lisbon-Madrid.

Good call, Mr. M! It was indeed Aerovias Guest which, aside from BOAC, I believe may have run the only scheduled trans-Atlantic Comet flights between North America and Europe. This flight continued on to Madrid which I neglected to include in the question as it might have made the answer too obvious.

Aerovias Guest 150 Miami (MIA) 115p-435p Bermuda (BDA) 520p-1155p Santa Maria (SMA) 1240a-440a Lisbon (LIS) Comet Friday only
