My guess is that it is the prototype between the /2 US models and the /5. Looks like the /5 chassis with an R69S engine.

You're too good for me ;) . Absolutely correct.

Here is another view... shame those panniers didn't make it into production, not so sure about the mirror position though.

Also of interest (to me anyway) is the lack of outriggers to support the silencers with the long rods from the sub frame to perform that job.

The tank also looks a slightly different shape but that could just be me.
