Now then, this guy reckons this 3C is 73. I would be after it if I didn't have to buy all the other junk too. Cant see the front wheel but it doesn't look like a drummer to me.
Especially with an oil cooler.

Hard to tell from the crappy photographs but it looks like the engine has the two flange crankcase.  It does have the one-piece clock mount/handlebar clamp of the later ones.
The frame looks a funny colour and the rear indicator fitment seems wrong.
 
I get a bit sad that someone has squirrelled away those previously collectible machines, and now they will cost more than their restored value to restore...
 
there are two pictures that clearly show the top shock mounts, left and right, these are different to those on non drummers,
trouble is, I cant remember if the non drummer ones "drop" less than the ones in the pics, so.... are these drummer top shock mounts or non drummer shock mounts. Plenty of these bikes were fitted with discs (it says drum brakes front and rear in text) and plenty had crankcases from later bikes installed due to running low on oil, with leaking non o ring crankcases and leaking non or ring head gaskets and general neglect.

I the lot will make 20k and after a lot of hard work, might return 30K IMHO

Disk brakes - I messaged him!
On second look I noticed front engine plate seemed odd so wondering if an engine swap has occurred
Watching with great interest!!
