Thanks for that. I found something similar.

Specifically when the changeover date from the two stroke triple to the newer four stroke four happened I don't know. And I wonder when they went to more conventional rear suspension.

I like the cycle with the sidecar on the left.

That article you found is about the 1911 P-D I own. The lower spring mounts directly to the rear axle housing. They used a more conventional rear suspension in 1913.

The bike is probably a Triumph from the same era or maybe a little earlier - 1910ish?
