Thank you 33d6 for your info.  The box is neither Albion or Burmen as you say Albion much used.  I have studied hundreds of photos and various books and feel sure it is Sturmey Archer.  The Albion three and four speed (sometimes with gear indicator)   used for dispatch rider duties (WD/D) would be foot change.  Hundreds of the Model Ds with hand change were "pressed" into military service and used by women riders for light messaging duties, I digress, it must be written somewhere which boxes were used on the Model A but I have yet to find it, still looking.
Thanks again for all the input.

Thank you for all the comments so far.  The un named gearbox is on my RE Model D three speed hand change 1939 I think the same gearbox was used on the Model A.  If I had to take a guess I think it is a Sturmey Archer.  Thanks again.

I am looking for recommendations for gearbox oil on a 1939 bike.  I am unfamilier and want to get the best that I can.  Thanks in advance.

Thank you Rex,  I am keen to get an original but you obviously know how difficult it is.  I will keep trying!

I am in need of a Miller 8 inch flat glass headlight.  Miller HF 180.  Fitted to RE 1939 model d.
I would be grateful for any help, a copy would be a last resort.
Thank you.
