That could be a Jawa model then?
I would email you, but I don't really know all that much about Jawa/CZ bikes, so I don't think I would be able to tell you anything?

There is a member here called Panzergranate who is a Jawa enthusiast, and he may be able to help you? Or I do suggest that you contact the Jawa/CZ owners Club?: http://www.jawaczownersclub.co.uk/
