Clive,
The number plates on the motorcycles in Mike's post are Commonweath, relating to Australia, these "C" numbers have nothing to do with British / Canadian census numbering. There is one photo, Norton Comb A, which shows a WD Census number, last digit out of view, but it shows it to be from Contract no. V3565, production completed March 1940. There looks to be a large box mounted behind the rider's saddle.
