Can't you trim your CV? leave out all bits which say you are over qualified or earned more money, leave in only the bits which support this job. By doing so you also reduce your apparent age.
You are not falsifying a CV by leaving bits out You could also change the heading to
Relevant Experience perhaps or
Career Highlights.
A CV should only be one page anyway. Might give yourself a better chance of getting past the initial cull.
