I see this was filmed in Denmark. I don't recognise the bikes. I wonder if they were something 'made for movie'. Note the odd looking handlebars and the headlights which appear to be aimed upwards.

All military vehicles in the film were existing ones provided by the Danish military. Presumably this includes these motorcycles, which are part of a military procession. So whatever they are, they were in use by the Danish army at the time and provided for the movie.

I was aware of the prewar Nimbus 4 but didn't know it was made that late and in that style. It is certainly different.
