David,
Email sent to you regarding other photo.
This one could be a Model 18, 500cc, but again it has a large sidecar, so it could be a Model 19, 596cc, which had sidecar gearing. Not sure if the Model 19 was produced in 1946, but suspect they had not had enough time to retool so prewar models were only ones available. Don't think it is ex-WD unless it was an impressed one from civilian stocks.
