the dropouts look kind of ghp to me but the shoulders of the forks don't look broad enough although I know they did do variations in the fork a little later on around 85/6

I did think that too Nick but the dropouts on the cw's don't protrude at the top,they come straight out of the fork arm to the bottom where the wheel goes

my only other guess would be torker from the 280/280x days

True, and the rear blade is smaller!

the rear part of the drop out on the nat pro is dead straight and at quite a slant too
