British Bikes / Villiers engine in 1930s Waratah

Mmm... I took this photo when my camera had film, probably back in the 1980s, at the Motor Museum at Birdwood, South Australia.
I think the bike is the 250cc Waratah on offer from 1935 through 1938. I know nothing about Villiers engines in the 1930s, but is this the 250? What's it called? Mk-something-A no doubt!
In 1939 the 250 had a vertical engine, tubular fork, etc, but would it have used the same engine?
Thanks
