Late Redditch 350 Bullet Horsepower Figures

Quick query, I tried looking back in the forum archives but got sent down too many rabbit holes.

WHAT is the factory-quoted horsepower claimed for the 350 REDDITCH Bullet, 1961 vintage. Possible insurance question. I gather the later Indian-built re-EFI Bullets were claiming 18hp by comparison.

I recently bought one, it came with a repro workshop manual but not the correct owner's manual.

The late semi unit Redditch Bullets were 18 hp, while the unit ones [big Crusader] were 21 hp.
