Right Sticky, 1971 I was a mechanic for Borje and his 250 Yamasaki was definitely not red as his Maico 125 with number 3 in 1971. By the way, Yamasaki was a Yamaha TD2 engine in a Kawasaki A1 R frame. The engine was bought in Germany in spare parts. So it can't be him as the second in the Quarter Bridge image. I didn't see that the image probably is from 1971 (or 70). My suggestion about Borje as the second one was built on the fact that i believed that it was from 1970 when Borje rode his 125 Maico with number 20. Obviously I was wrong!
