Re: dynamo identification
Welcome!
Bike should have a Lucas E3N. Part #s 20028 A/F are E3Ns, so it does sound right for the bike.
Earlier ones, between 1950 and '54 had E3AR, #s 20017 A/E.
From '50 on they all had Lucas MCR2 voltage regulators.
Your dynamo has probably got an adjustable small tin strip secured by 2 screws into the outside of the body - this is for ensuring the dynamo can't slide into the chaincase and cause mayhem if the drive and primary chains were to clash.
