All the G15,N15 series of bikes had ball end levers. As for the pistons, you may have to lift the cylinder head to find out, or see if you can see down the plug hole, but there is also a compression test. I would assume the pistons would or could have been changed to the Commando 8.9.1 pistons.
The 1965 G15CSR differs from the 1966 G15CSR, as the wheels became 19 inch and the Amal Monobloc's became left and right handed. The headlamp and the instrument bracket were chrome plated, and there was inlet trumpets fitted to the carbs. The rear sub frame was also different to the G15Mk2 and the G15CS, as the G15CSR had rear sets, and the tyre pump was fitted on prongs under the dual seat. There were also two types of swept back exhaust pipes, and there was special brackets that attached to the frame, in the centre of the exhaust pipe to the silencer and it was chrome plated. No air cleaner was fitted, and ignition was by the Lucas K2F magneto. The head steady was the earlier and later reinforced type depending on the year. The petrol tank was the larger 4 gallon one with chrome sides, knee rubbers, and a painted top, with plastic Matchless red, silver and gold winged badges. The mudguards would be in alloy, with reinforcements inside to stop the back mudguard from cracking, and a T piece was bolted on the dual seat and bolted through the rear mudguard.
