Hi,
It would be an Ensign. I don't know anything specific about the model but you could try Google or any of the Royal Enfield enthusiast's sites. Hope this helps.

The 150cc Royal Enfield Ensign model became available from 1953, being an updated version of the earlier 125cc 'RE' and RE2 models, these motorcycles also have the nickname 'Flying Flea' as a military version was used during WW2 by British paratroops.

Later there were Ensign II and III models.

Production ended in late 1962.
