never heard of that brand...Winton may be the name of the builder or it is a shop build.  Looks like a one piece body.  Tank and sidecovers look suspiciously like a Tracy, so perhaps tail section is modified from a tracy body.  Where did you find that pic?
If it works good, it looks good...

That bare body looks pretty good to me.  The pic of the complete bike looks out of proportion to me, granted it's not the best photo reproduction.  Fibreglass gas tank is pretty hard to make everyday practical given modern gasoline realities.
