Ok, this is difficult, and probably will not be right, but will check tomorrow.

I have already answered this question three days ago, but I notice now that I made a mistake. Sorry for that. Matchless contract S/6150 was a contract for 10.000 bikes, starting with frame number 73000, and engine number 90000. But production stopped after having built 6.089 bikes (last one: engine number 96088), because the War in Europe was over by then.

This makes 96006 one of the last military G3/Ls, but it was built when the war was (just) over, so second half of 1945. Frame number would have been 79006. Census number would have been C6118006.

A couple of bikes from the same contract:

Just wondering... Was this information useful?

My pleasure Lex! 😊

No, I wonder if I will ever get a reaction from Dharmil. From previous experiences I've got a feeling that there is no Indian translation for "thank you"... 😕

Well, you have to understand their culture a bit, when you are born in a certain Caste, you can never go up in the hierarchy, and the ones in the highest Caste look down on everybody else, like us, the low life investigators, who do the groundwork of discovering new things from the old documents and such.....
