Hello can you post some pictures thats always the best.  The RGS GA10 frame has a few differences from the standard frame. 
1. Frame number stamped GA10
2. No steering head lock.
3. 4 cast lugs on front down tubes
4.  Rear set lugs on rear frame.
5  No space under battery box mountings
6.  Small hole for swingarm spindle.
7. Swing has a small hole to accomidate the goldie rear wheel
8.  Solid swingarm bolt
9. Large wrap around head gusset
I think that is it.  If I have forgotten anything let me know.  Jeff

Hi MB
  Its funny I was ready thru the Haynes manual this morning and the frame number example was a GA10 number.  You should email the VMCC library and see what they say.  Jeff

Try Ian Jackson U K   BSAOC , he has a lot of dispatch records , if he can't help from his records , he may be able to point you in the right place to get some help.
