Its a Victor engine 441 in a C15 frame, the front brake was marginal for a 250 so for a 441 it will be dangerous.

The chassis and running gear are from the early 60s 250 and 350s, but the engine with it's square barrel and head fins is from 67 or beyond, it could be a 250 a 350 or a 441, but I think it is either a 250 or 350 because of the height of the engine. The top is clearly visible under the frame top tube, whereas on the larger capacity bikes it is partially obscured by the tank in most photos.

6" front brake in 17" rim identifies it as 250 7" in 18" rim was fitted to 350, unfinned area below fins on barrel indentifies it as 441 not 350 where barrel is all fins. And the 441 engine will fit as I have done the change myself, doubt a B50 will fit as that is taller than a 441 and there are just a few mm to spare.

Yes in Bali all these great bikes wind up being conglomerations of sorts of whatever they have to create with, no one follows concours thinking...off to India to study the history of Royal Enfield.
