Britains WWI Clyno Motorcycle

A hard-to-find WWI Clyno motorcycle cast in the 1930s. It was once attached to a sidecar which, unfortunately, I never had. I believe it was called a Vickers-Clyno because the side card held a Vickers machine gun. Made from hollow-cast lead. This figure might be Britains Catalog Number 200: Motorcycle Dispatch Rider, but I have not been able to verify it. I found a Danish website with some information but was not able to translate much of it. The website shows this figure with the sidecar and describes it as Catalog Number 199: Motor Machine Gun Corps.
