Quite tricky...
21/22/41 Sammy Miller as stated by Renzo (# 41 with Geoff Duke in the background ?)
27 Gerold Klinger from Austria
35/38 don't know if its helpful, but the pics are shot at the Norisring in Nürnberg, the buildings in the background show the typical ones of the "Nuremberg rally", i.e., the gathering of the NSDAP "party".....
hope to find out some more !

Wonderful array of shots, thanks for putting them up. Unfortunately, I can't get too many of them and even then I'm very open to challenge. From top left: 21/22/41 Sammy Miller; 26 Robin Sherry; 30 John Clarke; 40 Jack Brett, and that looks like the Pike BSA behind him? ; 9 Hobl or Wunsche. Also.... is that Enrico Lorrenzetti at 24 and 33?

Yes Renn, I think it is a very young looking Duke. Millier looks about fifteen too.

His career was cut short when he had a crash on the IOM in '53 while practising on a road bike in normal traffic

No, it is Karl Hofmann, Horst Burkhardt (former passenger of Fritz Scheidegger) has identified him.
