I appreciate all the feedback. It's been fun to find something completely different and here is an interesting article that I found as I was looking into Dufaux and Motosacoche:

Motosacoche and the Brothers Dufaux | The Vintagent
The Swiss Dufaux brothers were pioneers of aviation, inventing the first successful powered flyer, and founded Motosacoche.

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
It appears to be, except for the shape of tank, in the linage of this 1905 version. ' 1905 - MOTOSACOCHE '
Yet, you should have patent or serial numbers and nail it.
Below; A 1904 and dang, this is meaty!
Motosacoche A1 1904 IOE 211cc
The tires and rims, 1904, and it took near 30 years to adapt ballooners, this dude is going the distance. .
All those rat turds were messing wit my vision, all the pipes I'd thought were a distribution system is the head. In this version, there seems to be some kind of carbonator, receiving copper pipe from the opposing side. And probably the same tank with square front and triangulated back of tank..
Here's good shot of their Parts, prob changed pulley for chain? Clip-on engines for instant motorized pedal-pumper... They had it going on wit a simple air cooled machine. Whizzer who? . :
