Could someone post a picture of the correct chainguard for the 1963-5 G80CS.
Cheers.

In how much detail, what are you looking to know?
The tail of the CS chainguards finish a bit higher/earlier than the road model ones which curl further round the rear sprocket.

At the swing arm end is it a square or round cutaway like the P11? I have seen about half a dozen different styles all purporting to be G80CS but I am now a little confused.

There are good drawings in the 1957 G3 and G80 spares list. According to the drawing, nose of 022461 should be rounded.
I am surprised you mention P11, which had a minimalistic chainquard with a straight edge nose. The chainguard coming close to 022461 is the 1957 singles chainguard 023052. The latter is heavily advertised on eBay. 022461 is available from Walrdige or from the NA Section Spares Depot.

The brochure date notwithstanding, the depicted bike is a 1960-62 G80CS.

🙂 I noticed it didn't have the double lug on the swing arm and shocks with an eye at the bottom

Have you got a link to the NA spares section? I could buy one from there.
