The number that is visible tells a lot and maybe with careful examination, it might be possible to work out what the last two digits were. WM20 301xx would have been built under contract C7287, probably during late 1940 which suggests that the rear mudguard with the 'contract plate' did not belong to it originally.

Do you know how the bike came to be in Russia ? It has clearly had a long civilian life with chromed parts etc. Was it bought in from the Middle East or even Far East ?
