Start of refurb
K2-K6:
I thought the K7 had the oil tank cap covered, and maybe had a 630 size chain and sprockets similar to F2.

Both look the same other than the early one has the tank tap on the right.
K2-K6:
K7 also had 17inch rear wheel and is more related to F2 engine-wise with the later type carbs that have the lift mechanism enclosed unlike earlier models.
Seems as they are between K2 and K6 models from your description.
The oil tank filler was cover by the side panel from F1 through F2 and K7 so if original gives a clear distinction.
Fuel taps can differ from model to model and also have dual/single pipes running to the carbs depending on fitment. My K2 has a tap on the right, I would guess that the position on most bikes may have been more standardised to the left on later models as it's easier to switch to reserve and still be in control of the throttle.

The early one has a 18 and the later one a 17 as you say, both carburator lift mechanisms are external and the same
Both the oil caps are exposed, they look like the model that came after the sandcast ones, the side panels don't have the vents on them
K2-K6:
The 17inch wheel maybe a bit of a curve-ball and could have been retro-fitted to it.
They certainly sound like mid production series models from the details.
I guess if you "cafe" one of them you'll only be doing what others have and will only know how you feel about in years to come. It's quite personal how anyone has their bikes though so free choice really.
If you didn't get them they may not have been back running at all, and it can be done so that it's possible to return to original if the mods are all bolt together.
