I got basically the same fork and a complete set of curved fenders and braces my bike serial number is C06336.

Basically the same fork was used for many years by CWC, but this one has small shoulders at the crown, versus the standard flat-forged blade fork. Serials were repeated a few times in a couple year span, so it's impossible to determine anything without pictures.
With the bike in question here, I'm leaning towards late prewar. Very early postwar bikes all had blackout hubs, but with one wheel definitely being replaced here, it's possible the other was as well, so it's not a sure thing without the serial.

With the photos and serial, your bike should be a 1947. Any chance there is a Cw stamped to the right of the serial? It's right around the early '47 time which they starting adding the Cw and I'd like to narrow down a cutoff serial as close as I can.
