Photo came from Macedonia ,so might be taken near the border area where Yugoslav forces met the British forces.

I can't see any British uniforms and the mirror and Tansad type pillion suggest non-British use too. Can you read the full serial number ?

Cant read the full C number,if the date of 4th April 1945 is correct I think the British army was still in Greece,there is also some padding on the riders saddle,could they have swapped the original pillion seat for a more comfortable one due to the rough roads at the time.

The padding on the saddle is the 2nd. type of knee protectors, fitted to some bikes with Lycetts saddles in 1941-42.

Cheers,
