Hi Paul from Ireland. I`m in Perth  Western Australia and yes there is something amiss allright. My frame is an RC01 1001328 and the engine number is RCO1E 1001348. I think the frame should also be RCO1. The RCO1 models are different to the USA whihc dont even have the prefix RCO1 . Seeing as you are where you are, why not give davidsilverspares.co.uk a call and see if they know which belongs to which. For all we know that frame number might be the correct number for the UK, Ireland , Scotland and Wales although I have my doubts as I havent heard of a frame number like the one you have. Is the bike all in one piece, and does it run - can you ride it on the open road ??????????????????? Any chance you can put a photo of the bike on the forum or email the photo of the bike to me. Mine has Comstar Wheels and a single disc up front with a drum brake on the rear - if thats any help. I bought mine in South Africa in 1980 before moving to Perth in 1983 and both Australian and South African bikes are the same
