It isn't a Mustang.
They were side valve engines with both the intake port/valve (with the carb attached), and the exhaust port/valve, facing the front of the bike.
Jeff's bike doesn't have a forward facing carb.
I originally thought it was some kind of Cushman, but quickly discarded that concept.
I'm a bit stumped at the moment.
This is a great general knowledge brain teaser......

I think it's a Powell P-81, if I had to guess.
