I've received a few unsolicited SMS texts recently - from the same company -
but I can't find an option on the K800i to read message details which
include the message centre number. The option is easily available on Nokia
phones but I can't find message centre details (to make a complaint) on the
K800i.

Does anyone know if the K800i can display the message centre number details
for incoming SMS?

Knowing which message centre it came through will not help you make a
complaint.

Oh. I've always included the information in complaint reports and I thought
it would at least allow anyone who wanted to take the complaint seriously to
raise the issue with a service provider.

But there doesn't seem to be a way of displaying the message centre of an
incoming SMS on SE phones.

The senders shortcode number will identify the culprit. Message centre
will depend on which mobile network was used to send the message I would
have thought.

Telephone preference service is usually very good at stopping these things

No they won't, from the TPS web-site:
