I can't tell whether its a 62 Frame or not. Maybe You can? It's hard to identify the number since the Frame was powder-coated.
The third picture from the top shows the steering damper anchored with a stud and nuts. Can we get a view, panning s little more to the left of that view to see how the fork's stem nuts are stacked. I believe we may find some discrepancies there too.

It's an OE part from 1960 onward. You can remove it and replace the cover with one without the hole if you don't plan on running a sidecar....
They are usually raw aluminum in color....

I too like to have odd items of discussion on my pan. A clothes pin is clamped below my risers which elicits questions. I explain the reserve fuel system which can slip down in use, the handy clothes pin keeps it up when needed.

Thought I was the only one with this issue. Shuts off perfectly but won't stay up (on reserve) without a clothespin or some such.

Staying up and shutting off are two completely different functions. Staying up has to do with the packing rubber on the top under the spring and steel washer held by the cap. Its intention is the cap is adjustable to compress the packing making it hold the rod when up. Most OEM packings are dried out and no good and should be replaced.
