To my knowledge the tank logo were only used untill 47 - but it could be an E or EL or F or FL(knuckleheads) or U or UL (flathed)... BUT from the Chromed headlight and the chromed tip on the front fender and the very forward posisioned light on the fender this could actually be a 1941 WLD (with optional twin seat) If so this is very rare as most of the production in 41-42 went til th Army... Only 455 of the WLD was produced in 41 and 133 in 42

If you want to put in a bit a leg-work, contact Dale Walkster the curator at the Wheels Thru Time museum in Maggie Vally NC. He is the ultimate collector of vintage bikes. I bet he could look at the pic and know exactly when/what the model is.
I went to the museum last summer, met Dale and took a tour of the shop. He is a great person and very knowledgeable. He had bikes dating back to the turn of the century (1900) and all but 3 or 4 are in running condition, many are one of a kind bikes. So this guys relaly knows his vintage bikes.

It's a 1944-46 Knucklehead.
Photos of knuckleheads - most likely Police version
