J1, G35983 was made in January 1942, and was one of the last civillian bicycles before the war. It just predates manufacture of the Military model G519 bikes, based on the same frame.
it is common to find the bike lock latched to the seat, I guess the question is, where else would you put it that it won't rattle around or damage the paint. And the two reflectors are filling the two extra holes for a dropstand clip…common Westfield thing to have a kickstand and holes for a clip but no dropstand.

Great work with the serial number guide! Is there any significance or rarity being a Pope Westfield over any of the other westfield makers of this era?

No, there is no special significance. It may indicate a slightly different parts set up, or perhaps retail in a particular area, it's a bit like 'Badge Engineered' cars in that respect.
It is nice, and I personally think good value. But then I'm biased towards bikes of this particular era (-:
I should add that I am currently updating this list with a couple of hundred more bicycles, and thank you for supplying another example.
