David, you may be right about the classification of the chair. I have the tendency to call any large saloon sidecar a "double-adult" but my experience of the things is restricted to riding a BSA with a box of bricks on the float into a telegraph pole !

I remember the winter of 1962-3 because the snow alongside the garden path stood higher than I did.

I tend to think "Busmar" with most of this type of sidecar but there were of course many small manufacturers.

The small car was responsible for their demise, along with the MOT test as many were not all that well maintained.

I should think it a certainty that this rider was ex-Services, either wartime or National Service. I wonder if he was wishing he was back on a WD Big 4 Norton with sidecar wheel drive ?
