Thanks for that but its at just the wrong angle to be inconclusive to me, 2 bidders on it and I think there will be enough more to make it not worth the chance just to get correct shape cases which will still have the wrong number, think I will stick with the NOS cases I have and leave them unstamped

Definitely not me. It may have fallen over and erupted in a cloud of red oxide dust. :-\

Early 500.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255328486282?hash=item3b72c3838a:g:jdUAAOSwj35h31cv

Yes that's a very early K0 3/71 build with the squared cases. not a bad buy for someone .. I got my CD125 sloper twin from the same guy Neil .. I called him and did a deal for quite a bit less than it was listed for. Turned out it had actually come from/imported by  Mark at Govner's Bridge as his name was on the NOVA cert.

Whoops ! just noticed frame modified so maybe not so good after all
