Where are you in Devon,? I am in N Cornwall and could have a look at them if you are reasonably close ,to help you identify which parts belong together.

Heres a picture  of a B14

There were two more Excelsiors in the 1932 senior that did not finish, ridden by Syd Crabtree and Harold Warburton. (From race information on the Manx Heritage site)
There was a picture of Syd Crabtree at the 1932 TT looking at an Excelsior fitted with a return sump J.A.P engine carrying the number 23 in an old issue of the motor cycle, unfortunately I dont know the date of this issue.
The bike that finished 17th was a B14 with a twin mag J.A.P engine fitted ridden by Dave Brewster, Mentioned in the article "Racing with Excelsior" in the Autumn 1986 issue of Calssic Racer.

Looking in the 1932 and 1933 Excelsior catalogues there are similar 500cc bikes, the B14 and C14. These have single port special racing engines, burman 3 speed close ratio boxes and webb racing forks with hand operated shock absorbers. Max speed in the region of 100mph.
I have a 500cc Excelsior J.A.P project, which I am fairly certain is a works experimental bike raced in the 1932 Senior TT. If you come across any information on these bikes I would like to hear from you, as ten months of searching has turned up very little information.
