Unanswered: Lil' Indian 500???

Well, my disease seems to be worsening. I just picked up another one today. I think it's a Lil' Indian 500 (missing the rear caliper), and the paint looks original, but there is no spring in front and the handlebars seem to sweep back more than others I've seen. Were there different front ends used on these? Also has 4" 4-bolt steel wheels. Were these stock on this bike? Is it a Lil' Indian? If yes, anyone know what engine came standard? I would like to return it to original. I think this is the smallest one I've owned. I don't know how to attach pictures, so I have put it in my photo gallery, it's the picture that says "What is it".
Thanks, mini-bike Chuck

8ball, any idea if the front fork looks like an Indian fork? Also, did some of them come without the front spring like this? I am wondering if the fork looks like it should, bars look "swept back" to me, not like other Lil' Indians I've seen (maybe someone bent them back??)
