Dorine, it is 144 hour visa free transit and not 72 hours visa free transit in Beijing and it is not a transit visa, but visa free transit, so there is no visa of any kind at all.
Your itinerary:
London - Beijing - Pyongyang
Pyongyang - Beijing - London
Is definitely eligible for 144 hour visa free transit in Beijing twice. There is no doubt about it. You should just ensure that you have a valid confirmation of your ticket for your Beijing - Pyongyang flight because this confirmation will be asked for by check-in staff in London. Also, this confirmation will be asked for by Chinese immigration at the time of your arrival in Beijing. It is important to emphasize that you do not need to inform anybody about anything in advance. It will be enough that you just state at the time of check-in in London that you will travel from London to Pyongyang via Beijing using 144 hour visa free transit. You will present your flight tickets and also your visa support documentation for DPRK and you will repeat it in Beijing. It is important to have those documents in printout forms.
Just one detail... Before your landing in Beijing, you will receive an arrival/departure card and here you will tick a transit as a purpose of your visit to China and as an address, you will write the name of the hotel where you will stay overnight. Upon landing, the first thing you will do is to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit where you will apply for a temporary entry permit to be allowed to exit the airport by presenting the above mentioned documentation. This application is free of charge.
