Update on the subject;
I just dismantled the Placerville Motorbike.

As found condition, that didn’t appear to have been collectorized.
1937 dated crank.
1938 paint scheme with an R prefix, small font, tightly spaced serial number.
Set back front tank strap.
So, it looks like the set back tank strap was being used, well into the 1938 model year, which would indicate that 1938 models could’ve had either strap location, and that 1939 would’ve most likely had the set back strap location.
