No doubt about the Triumph ID The picture reappeared quite regularly in the motorcycling press during the war years (as did much of their material !)
You have showed the Norton pictures before and I liked them so much that I bought decent copies. The bike that I am rebuilding is probably C4102617 so these detail shots are about as close as I'm going to get.
I have been looking to see if the pictures were published at the time but haven't found anything yet. I think they would have been because they liked these technical / maintenance pictures. The Norton is likely to have been produced in January 1940 and mine found its way to France with the BEF. The men in these pictures have Royal Signals cap badges and my guess would be a training establishment during the summer of 1940.
The van in the picture is numbered H4137395 which is listed as Local Purchase, various makes and types and the Utility (Definitely an "M" prefix to the census number) looks to be from the same sequence - M4137*** I think so no help there.
