I will take a poke at it. When I blew it up, it is very pixelated. Triumph maybe?

Best guess: "Clint Eastwood bought a Norton Ranger while filming Where Eagles Dare in London in 1968"

from https://www.facebook.com/ClassicBikeMagazine/posts/clint-eastwood-bought-a-norton-ranger-while-filming-where-eagles-dare-in-london-/881992748553414/

used google images, some thought triumph, others norton.

I'm guessing Norton is probably correct. Doesn't look like a Triumph badge though it is hard to make out. Good eye George.
