That's definitely a Hawk Scorcher... i don't agree that the first one was. ???
Avro:
Far too many similarities for me to believe they are not one and the same, however, you never know.
I hope it turns out to be a Rhino, I really do. I could not afford it if it was a tenner let alone what it sold for.
Kind of wish I had asked about the frame number now but meh, as I said I could not buy anyway.
Will we ever know?

Top tube is too short for a Rhino and the gusset is similar but definitely not the same.

I don't believe it's a Rhino either... my money's on it being a copy frame like the two in the links i posted. :daumenhoch:
The height of the Scorcher's top tube and bb are much more akin to Burner geometry whereas the first bike posted in this thread is more like a Rhino (real bmx geometry) but obviously it isn't one. ???
