There are a few specifics I see that lead me to believe this may be a Convert not a G5. Either way thanks for posting!

No hoses above right foot brake lever, not-a-vert...

Gotcha, just noticed that too. The G5 tank logo and front forks are different however. The logos are up a little (like the SP) instead of right on the middle strip, and the rear brace on the front fender doesn't turn down like the T3 and Convert fender brace.

So maybe a G5 with some parts changes (forks and tank), or Convert with engine swapped?

I think it's an early T3FB. Look at L bar switch. It's been replaced but has the old style clutch lever perch.

What does FB stand for? (T3FB)

Looks like a mixed up mess to me. I wouldn't go more than $500 on it.
