Motor looks like a G50 to me.
Is No 43 Alan Moss, it's the second time I've seen this bike in a couple of weeks. I ask if it's Mossy because the colour is so unusual ...

No, it's one of Owen Greenwoods, Off topic, Erroll Craven & grease started out on a triumph of Owen Greenwoods in Forgotten Era in the early 90's

he maybe gone but his is defo not forgotten. Saying that, sandra had to put up with a lot

May well be a Greenwood dry sumped motor, I remember his 650 triumph well like that. But still reckon it's a G50, no Trumph ever looked like that not even the one or two I have seen that were converted to OHC.

That last one, an NSU?

Rocker box covers held on with spring clips, the ubiquitous DCOE's and a hoooge camchain on the left end

Wild guess, the crank "splashed" in the oil in the crankcase lubricating the bottom end????
