Help with identification of girder fork

Can anyone identify this Webb-type girder? 24.3 inches from axle center to top
of girder. WM20-type speedo mounting bosses absent from the top of fork,
and side plates and spindles less substantial overall. Slightly narrower,
5.75" between axle plates.

It also has the wrong stem fitted, from a much narrower fork

Jeff,

You have quite a mix of BSA pre war parts there. The legs are mid thirties medium and heavy weight, the bottom yoke seems like light to medium weight late thirties and the top yoke is medium and heavy weight mid thirties again. The spindles are late thirties light and medium weight.

Regards,
Leon

It is a Velocette site but they have posted a Webb Girder Fork Catalogue.
