Couple of comments.
Any T160 with the larger oil feed intake pipe would by necessity also feature the larger diameter oil line, plus the larger oil tank filter and union.
To my knowledge, no T160 ever featured reflectors on the headlight brackets. Due to the wide (5") front indicator stems fitted to T160's, many bikes suffered fractured headlight brackets when the bikes fell over and the indicators made contact with planet earth. Many replacement headlight brackets were not in fact T160 parts, as they became obsolete fairly early in the piece.
I have a "CK" (solid pegs) and an "HK" (rubber pegs) and they both feature the tacho cable stay - so it would seem your earlier "NK" had one removed. I would have expected your "NK" to have rubber pegs. My "HK" was purchased new in Australia.
Unless one knows all previous history it becomes impossible to know what any particular bike featured from new, and what may have been removed or fitted by previous owners.

Hi Kilroy,
NK064XX has rubber mounts as I said later frames have rubber footpeg mounts.
I purchased this bike new in melbourne with a few assessories fitted such as a Front crash bar, Gaitors (due to known leaks on front disc pads when on the side stand), indicator buzzer fitted, heavier ADV/RET springs and a Smiths Ammeter fitted, from the first day I picked it up.
I also remembered Torque arms are on the earlier model on the head bolts.
Yes there are lumps on the headlamp mounts on the earlier ones but no reflectors fitted, they have imformed me
Best regards, Allen.
Early T160s had 3.5 carburettor slides. later were 4's.
