Hard to be certain but probably Triumph.

Triumph SAINT's (?)

I don't really know if they are Triumphs, but, here are a few pictures of Triumph police motorcycles. Maybe they can help.

A Triumph police motorcycle of that era is often refered to as a "SAINT". I just learned that it means Stops Anything In No Time. Great! (I had a feeling it didn't refer to the bike Simon Templar would have ridden!).

Not much to go on but looks like a drum brake which would indicate Triumph TR6P Saints , nearly all Police Norton Commandos had a front disc.

I think you're right about the TR6P, JCB.

Looking at the picture again, I have a feeling that these are made-for-the-movie bikes, not genuine police motorcycles.
