It's a cool bike. The pipes look recent, does it run?

That's not a Rocket. A 650cc BSA A65 twin. SLS front brake suggests 1966 or earlier.

Would have to look at bike/ listing but could be a Rocket. At least one A65 was called a Rocket. But if it's an A65 it's not the original Rocket. There were several A10 Rockets.

They were called Road Rockets or Super Road Rockets and indeed were A10 models. The first Rocket III was a triple in 1969
