I think your hex theory is pretty convincing.
No pics as everything in storage at present, but my attitude would be #1365 of 1990 going on the serial number.
It's a 'K' then a BAT, which would give weight to your suggestion that new 'post-issue' 1990 frames went out in 'B' configuration, whereas ones already made / modified had the 'B' stamped retrospectively - ie. B'K'AT...
It has c/l cable entries, but I'm fairly sure it has a red seal BB, so probably another mongrel of some sort.
No idea of fork serial, but will check whenever next near the bike...
This is fun - however, has anybody thought to ask Gary himself to save conjecture...?
Cheers,
BB.
