Resembles a NSU OSL 501

The engine looks different though. It might be a Horex Imperator twin
in an NSU chassis, but I'm guessing.

It has the double fork of an NSU, but it different.

I could be anything.. Lithuania was german until 1918, then
independent.
the photo is probably from before the russians occupied Lithuanian
territory
in 1940...

hence...

it could be a polish, german, or russian motorbike.

That's called a "girder" fork. They were very common.

Also, Motosacoche was a Swiss company that licensed motorcycles
resembling NSU's that were sold all over Europe and Britain.
