Looks different from a BMW. Since it's on a prototype bike, maybe....prototype fork?

It's call a biplane fork, a lot of bikes had them back then.

The best new versions of the biplane fork are designed by Pacenti. My Rawland Sogn 650B has one.
(The pic isn't my Rawland...just a pic I grabbed via Google)
