> and this thing, that might be the regulator?
It looks like it would taste like a regulator; size, terminals. Even says "12V", as if there were a 6V model around from earlier years. But "H B S(?)" is not jogging my chimes.
> The switch is labeled "normal" and "music".
That's astonishingly modern. More transistors than my Willys, BSA, Falcons and Cougar put together. I'm guessing it is a horn relay and a cultural thing. That you have a polite too-tee-toot! horn and a HOOAUGNNKKK! horn. One for in-village to urge children and chickens along, or "wave" friends; the other for the Big City to intimidate trucks.
> what looks like an audio transducer
Looks like a high-pitch buzzer. Back-up warning for a truck. Might be related to turn-signals?
> The only thing I'm keeping are the switches
Keep everything. It may be more important than it looks. I agree that most of that junk should not go back on the bike without massive restoration. (And if it is Lucas, a soak in warm beer. If that doesn't heal it, shim some Honda switches onto the machine.)
What original colors match? The dynamo and rectifier --may-- have the same (pre-patching) color codes.
> see if I can find a wiring diagram for it... Probably won't be diesel specific
Probably exactly the same except the part you are missing (sparks).
Is this the same machine, below the piston, as some spark machine?
Ignore the mix-n-match bits. There is a core mechanical and various parts used to make a specific model. My BSA was a post-war go-to-work machine, but my model was gussied-up with high tailpipe, knobby tires, and no slow-idle. It was an English Trials wannabe, but BSA was selling it to US kids for the kind of stunts now called Enduro, Motocross, and Freestyle, but we called it messing-around. A commercial bike might get different brakes, springs, seat, racks, handlebars, and still be the same core machinery.
A Diesel is usually built on a very different foundation than a sparker. As GM proved again by Dieseling a perfectly good 350 sparker. However for a low-production modest performance one-lunger, it makes some sense to start with a an existing in-production large-sparker's crank, case, oiler, cam-works, gearbox, etc. Perhaps the points-shaft can drive the injection pump. Max RPM is lower due to lean slow combustion. Nett result is much less HP, but a hot 250 sparker is a ripping machine in lands where 750cc and 427CID machines are unknown.
So yeah: if there is a sparker one size up with same-looking crankcase, I bet the electrical is the same except the stuff that is different. And being a sparkless engine, the Diesel is just missing an obvious sub-circuit.
Hmmm. The Enfield Bullet never changed, even when built different sizes... but Enfield Taurus seems to cover DOZENS of oilburners, factory and DIY.
A Diesel is utterly waterproof, which may be super valuable in India's monsoons.
