Also note the Coffee Can
I also have a 1957 R60 that has a mix of early and late 57 parts yet still has an early Eber tail light. ( I bought my bike from the original owner and he confirmed he received it from the dealership that way. Some people might try and "correct" mismatched parts on a '57 however it very well may have came that way from the factory!
I honestly don't know what month and day that production started and ended for the 1957 model year but I know that my bike was manufactured on May 13, 1957. Anyone know for sure?
So 1957 is a tough year to figure out if things are "correct" as there was such a mixture of "early" and "late" parts. Also interesting that 1957 was an extremely low production year.

Mixed Parts
I thought they were not original but now not sure
It does have the single pass spokes on both wheels, and short headlight ears
