John: The best I can find shows the engines with a A50B prefix came in both 1964 and 1965. As for the 6368 number you posted, A50B frames start with #4001 in 1965 so the year could be 1965.
However an A50 engine is a 500cc machine while a Thunderbolt is a 650cc machine and should have an A65 engine number.
From what I can make out in the small photo is there is a lot of detail from a machine later than 1965.
