Inlet doesn't look home made to me.
There were a lot of people using tubular steel manifolds back in the 60's the most notable being Downton.
But there were others; Longman, Janspeed & Derrington to name a few.

If it is a manifold from the '60s then could be Downton, Janspeed,derrington or other,but not Maniflow or Longman they hadn't left Downton at that stage.

If you look closely, you will probably find it has not been cut off and made that way. That's because it was made for an 1100 and not a mini.
