Thanks for all your opinions guys.
But, the seat-post is correct and the same one was inserted after BJs 'repairs'. It was not reamed.
Some 531s are different diameters, French for example, but the problems are not just with the seat-post/tube. Check the bulge in the second pic. It went for a repair and refinish. Not cheap! When I got it back it looked reasonably well, and I excused the incorrect decals, but a few miles more and you see what it's like now.
This is the full bike. 1948 and one of three LQs in my possession. It's not like I'm an amateur in this respect. Running an FM hub here.
