Yes, its original
The bike is a 1943 BMW R 75. It came with a sidecar (inncorect one) but it is surpisingly original from a parts perspective. The captured bike in the other photo I believe is a BMW R12, the smaller (500 cc) brother to the R 75.
I have attached a photo of what I believe is the same bike somewhere in Ontario in the late 50's. The bike went to the US in the 70's I believe, and came back in pieces and it appears it has been dissasembled for many years and moved around alot before I got it. It still has Ontario plates from 1962 on it.
It should be interesting beside a CMP at a OMVA show in a few years.
