Could be indeed, 'L.S.'. I think that they changed over sometime in the mid-60s in order to meet the new emissions laws. J.
Interestingly, I had an 8 month old Wartburg Knight Mk. 4 Saloon a decade later in March 1976 which was one of the last 991cc 3 cylinder two strokes imported. (Later cars got a VW motor, but I don't think that they were ever imported).
It went like stink with a smoke screen worthy of James Bond but was a devil to time with three sets of points. It also had a vicious freewheel to prevent oil starvation on the overrun (it was a petrol/oil mix) and dreadful East German tyres.
Happy days! J.
Regards, John.
