I have a similar lightened 1275cc Midget/Sprite flywheel on the shelf and modified by Manx Racing (ex Downton).
The only difference to yours is that the clutch face has been re-profiled to accept a 7-1/2" clutch.

The above flywheel is surplus to requirements and I may be persuaded to part with it if anyone is interested. Its replacement was a special lightweight steel flywheel made by Oselli to accommodate a 7-1/2" racing clutch.
I also have a special alloy flywheel with steel friction pad again made by Manx Racing just sitting on the shelf.
