Hi, certainly 70/80s Japanese. There is a parts company with a website, CMSNL, that have a huge amount of parts schematics for Jap bikes. They have a very useful search function that allows you to enter a part number and it will then tell you which models that part fitted.
You can also scan through different models and try to match up the chain guard with the parts schematic. Maybe a lengthy job but worth a try.

Top tip - if it needs more than 2 bolts to hold it on, its probably important...

It looks to me like a chainguard from a Honda CB250G5/CB360G5, from around 1974-76.

Actually, I'm pretty darned certain that's what it is, but I don't like to be too strong with my opinions. I could telll youi r for certain if I wenty out into to cold and climbed to the back of my garage where I'd find one fitted to my 400/4. For info, it's longer than the correct 4oo/4 guard but it fits the bolt holes and, in my book, near enough is good enough. :D

The tyre sizes on the sticker are too small for the 750 but match the 250/360 perfectly.

Honda 750 K0 was 1969, and the guard enclosed completely above the swingarm and as Janet mentioned, the tire sizes are too small - the 'bike alone is almost double the load capacity shown!

Hey folks,

Can anyone identify what this clasp is for, it's not apparent with my bike and can't find it in the spares list.

Hi

If you mean the clamp around the top tube, it looks like one half of the set of clamps that hold the HT coil on an alternator configured machine:

Could also be pt no 010970 clamp for the rocker box stay - see pg 9 of the 54 Matchless spares list

Its for the head steady to bolt to. On the rocker box there are 2 bolts with threaded ends which a thick triangular L shaped head steady bracket attaches to and then the bracket in the photo is then bolted to that securing the engine to the top tube.
