Maybe it is a euro import as there were a lot made for Germany/Swiss markets?

Don’t forget that back then there were a lot of “parallel” imports that didn’t come to the UK via Moto Cinneli, the “Official” importer, some of which were obtained from dealers in Europe.
A check of the logbook may give clues as the importer is sometimes mentioned where it states the bike was new when imported.
