Not sure when JLO started, certainly producing in the late 40's, another possibilty is they were contracted to rebuild engines for the British Forces in Germany, post war.......but with the engine being an early one, I still go with my original theory.

A friend has looked into this further and been in touch with Martin Gerstenlauer of the JLO Register. Although he was not aware himself, he has now obtained confirmation from a retired JLO employee that they rebuilt motorcycle engines at Pinneberg for the occupying British Forces in the immediate post-war years.
Another mystery solved. Well done Richard
