Sources: My old swedish magazines, i.e: Classic Motor Magasin, Signalhornet, Nostalgia+ Motor Historiskt Magasin. I also consulted "Die NSU- Story", an excellent book by Peter Schneider, regarding possible motors for the alleged Motorcycles.

Here are registration figures on some of the "swedish NSU:s"that are listed as NSU. There are probably many more but they are hard to find as they are listed under "others"

MOPEDS:
There were also some mopeds produced in Sweden that had NSU quickly motors. I know of:
Kärnan, Kärnans Cykelfabrik, Helsingborg, Possibly only used Quickly motor 1956
Monark M24, Varberg, "Monarped"(1955-59? photo below) 

And these are identical, except colours, to Monarped:
Maraton, J.B. Benson, Eskilstuna?, Possibly only 1956 
Örnen, (the eagle) John Bengtsson, Malmö, Possibly only 1956
Speed, I don´t know who stands as "Manufacturer" but Speed was sold  at Konsum, the consumer owned Cooperation´s stores, probably only 1956-57? 

The reason for these strange examples of "lable- engineering" is as I understand it, that several small bicycle- and moped factories were merged with the larger Monark-Crescent Company during the early- and mid fifties. But selling them this way, with local brands so to speak, they thought that they could keep the customers easier, rather than introducing an unknown brand.

If anyone knows of more mopeds and/ or details please drop me a mail.
