Hi Mike,
If your bike is a 63 G80, it must have Norton forks and hubs.
Only 63 500 CS and 650 CSR had "interim" hubs, according 63/64 parts list.

Jean-Noel, the Norton forks and hubs were fitted to the 1964 model year bikes so this would be from late September '63. I have two early 1963 model year bikes, a G3 and a G15/45 and both these are fitted with the interim hubs and are as shown in the 1963 sales brochure. My 1964 short stroke model 18 IS fitted with Norton forks and hubs.
Mike as an easy identification the interim hubs only have five fins whereas the earlier ones have seven.

Yes, looks like 1955 so you have a one year only wheel, trouble is it's the wrong year. Is the front wheel correct? This should also only have five fins on the hub but as you have AMC teledraulic forks the earlier wheels will fit no problem. Another clue is that 1963 wheels were 18".

This is a pic of my swinging arm,

Also a pic of the brake shoes removed from the 55 hub apparently 1930-40s steel shoes.
Hopefully this is a swinging arm for interim hubs 5 fin, advert on wanted in hope that I can find parts, unfortunately the interim is not in the parts list, so if anyone can point me in the direction of the correct parts list I would appreciate.
Sprid 👏👍
