The oil pump cover shown looks like a pre 36 era version, which was a waste oil system with no return pump on the bottom of the right case. The pictures is of the left side with an arrow where the oil dump valve is located. It isn't visible because of the clutch cable bracket. That's not how the US models were setup, so who know what else is different.

Cool find. I know enough to know these bikes had an interesting story.
I have fancied owning one someday, but that's more of a dream than a reality. Reading just these few posts from folks in the know, you'd have to be pretty well versed to sort out all the bits to get one running right, I'd say.
Still, a cool find. I see the ad is now removed. Would love to know what it sold for.
