Thanks so much John for going to so much trouble....the info is very helpful....It could be one of two brothers one in the Royal Navy and the other in the Merchant Navy born late 1890s.
I really appreciate your time.

Good morning,

So, Paris 1932, why did he have a British bike with French no plate?

We may never know but it is intriguing.

Good evening,

Given that the plate is Paris 1932 I have revised the ID of the bike. It's a W32-7, 500cc twin port OHV. Not actually greatly different from the W33, this is it from the other side.
