I've been trying to i.d. this 1950s 531 frame. Unique bilaminate lugs on the head tube.

Bought as a complete yet miss-matched bike and stripped of 8 coats of paint and all the tat discarded.
Best guess is that it's a H.E. Green.
Initially I was thinking it may be a Gillott but the marque expert tersely pointed me toward Green.
Project started in January and is about half way there now. Things are being fitted up, taken apart, changed, shelved, bought / sold etc.
It won't be period correct. The '57' in my username is reference to Heinz's varieties.
