Keith, the picture at the top of the thread and I think all the others on that sale have been lifted from Gavin Birch's "Motorcycles at War" book and are actually IWM images. They look like scans to me and I don't think that the selection is coincidental.
The first picture is captioned :- "MWEE demonstrate a range of mechanical devices which could be delivered to Airborne Forces on the battlefield via air dropped equipment containers.At the front is the Welbike secure in folded-down configuration within a container. Jarrow tractor can also be seen". (IWM MVE11152/2)
I recommend a copy of the book or if you want higher res prints, order direct from the IWM. I'll happily look up numbers for you.
