Can any identify this bike that I had in the 1960's. I thought it was a Norman but looking at pics of various Norman models this does not look like a Norman frame. Engine is a 125 Villliers 12D. Probably a collection of bits bought for a few £'s in those days. Is it a Francis Barnet frame

Just received this comment from John Harding on the FB forum, which I think is about right
The frame looks FB, but the only FB frame with the angled shocks and the sharp triangular frame rails where the shocks mount is the Scrambles Model 72 frame ?
exhaust, tank, wheels,Metal Profile forks etc all look Norman, but the curve of the saddle tube is not ?
engine appears to be a Villiers 122 10D
so would guess it started out as a Norman and had a frame swap ?? possibly with a FB model 72 ?
