Hi
There was a bike with a fore and aft flat twin like that at the horseshoe back in Aug '09.
I didn't get a photo and can't remember if it had a badge, but bussy was there, maybe he remembers it.

Here it is from the other side; 1927 349cc SV flat twin.

Although yours may be an earlier bike and possibly ex-army.
