To my dismay, I found out the chaincase came off another '36 Sports Tourist...and the drum hubs already sold. I might have checked his listings earlier had I seen your lovely, restored '36. Looks very clean with the cables routed directly to the hubs.
How does the slack geometry compare between a 28" example and the '36, by chance? The Humber is a bit small for me to experience as it was intended. I also haven't checked to see if the bolt-on-stay frameset and the brazed stay frameset share the same frame angles.

It seems to have more in common with the rod brake machines; its a compromise so I'm going to say its about 60-70% the way there from the 26" bikes. The seat stays look like bolt-on stays that got filled in and brazed. I've not compared either.
