Didn't realize that was Bill Silver. I'm sure you're right, but the guy who did it must be related to the promoter in Derby who turned down the offer to manage the Beatles. I'm sure that someone will snap it up and turn it back into a work of art. Slightly beyond my skills.

Alloy Tank
Obviously locating an unmolested 1962 Honda CL 72 Factory Aluminum Alloy
gas tank is rare. Occasionally, they appear for sale, but almost 50 years later
in 2010, obtaining one with zero defects ..... is indeed a real find.
"The Honda Scrambler 250 CL72 (1962 - 1965) was
similar to the CB72 Hawk 250. The headlight shell,
frame, upper fork covers, fork legs, and shock covers were
painted the basic color. Three colors were available: Blue
with Silver, Scarlet Red with Silver, and Black with Silver.
The fuel tank, side covers, and fenders were silver, or polished
alloy on the first few shipments. The tank had rubber knee
pads and less than 125 aluminum alloy tanks were
delivered to the U.S. from the Honda factory.
While the Hawk's exhaust pipes were slung under the
gearbox (one on each side of the bike), the Scrambler's
two pipes with baffles went over the gearbox on the left
side. The engine was a 247cc 4-stroke OHC parallel
twin with two carburetors. The transmission was a 4-speed"
