Mystery Bike - can you identify it?

I recently saw this in a garden full of derelict Land Rovers.
I couldn’t get closer for a better shot.
I‘m wondering if it is worth rescuing.
I have a feeling it could be a CZ, MZ or similar, but not sure.
Can any one here identify it?BB21EA99-663D-4C16-8C33-771B0A4D5D85.jpeg
 
Fairly sure it's something from the CZ/Jawa family - doesn't look like any of the MZs I'm familiar with (they're mostly singles with the pipe on the RHS)

CZ175. I had one - my first road bike!

Hi Steve,
yes, should be a CZ / Jawa 175. My friend had one in the mid 70s. Was strange to see, when he pushed the gear lever inwards and could swivel it 90° to the right to use it as a kickstarter.
