The R7 I (sort of) know about was a race engine, OHC, with that pretty gear train up the side. The gear case is nearly always painted with gold stove paint. Do you mean to say -- *are you trying to tell us* -- that an OHV R7 came first? Shame, sir, shame.
Yes, that engine looks like a twin-port R5. Both R7s and 7Rs (the ones with the gold painted magnesium timing cover & crankcase) were OHC racing motors.
Glad you were all paying attention. In my defence, I wasn't sure what make the pushrod single engine was and simply read the posters on the wall behind the engine. I've added the second poster that mentions 346cc R7 to the post. Me, I'd rather have a 7R!

Yikes! Tough crowd!

Oh, heh, R7 not 7R. I have asked my indignation team to stand down.
The crankhandle was probably removed because visitors like me would fall into a cranking trance and have to be led or carried away by guards.
