Based on the assumption that census numbers followed frame numbers which is a little dubious on these early machines but the only option in the absence of surviving records, C4102632 would have been frame W4231. I am rebuilding W4216 as C4102617. I don't think that I'm going to find a closer match for detail info

Rich,

I have some lists of vehicles issud to Canadians in 21st Army Group. I 'played' with the census numbers vs the serial numbers* (I assume that this is what you are calling the frame) and found a correlation.

*Some numbers start with W while others have no prefix. I can share these sheets with you. The sheets also include Matchless bikes.
