Welcome to the forum. You have a particularly pretty and, in my opinion, desirable early rigid framed bike.

 I'm no expert, but that timing case looks like Longstroke A7, as does the speedo-in-tank but hard to tell the shape, I'm fairly sure the speedo-in-tank was only one year, '46/7(which made me look harder art the casing)

 Notwithstanding looks good whatever *wink2*

duTch, I think your right. The bolt on manifold also points to longstroke A7.
Stretch, what is the engine # prefix, eg XA7, YA7, ZA7 ?

That bike is definitely a 500cc A7 longstroke and would be XA7 because speedo is in the tank. The YA7 1948 the speedo was on the forks.
