Oddjob:
Any pictures of it?

It could be a K3 but wearing a lot of F parts. Pictures would show us if it is as there are a few differences.

Bryanj:
Top of the carbs is one givaway, "P" shaped with a screw top and bottom is K3, Coffin shaped with a screw each side is an F

Oddjob:
Check rear of swinging arm, if fully enclosed it's an F type, if it has removable end caps it's a K.

Tubular type rear brake lever K, flat type F.
