I'm not too sure but the make and model sound familiar and I think I saw one at the National Car & Bike Museum at Birdwood SA. Maybe worth contacting.

Hi Jopeter,  I do not have the info to date,  I do have a rough drawing and a pic of the actual Bike , it is a single cylinder.  I will forward a copy to you direct on email.
