Which mototcycles had sidecars that looked like the front end of dirigibles?

Do you mean the Royal Enfield Bullet? And they're still being made I believe!

Yes, in India as the Enfield (not Royal) Bullet. It seems likely that the chair is the Watsonian in your link, but here is another possibility:

Steib ou Watsonian, possible pour le side... Mais il peut être attelé à à peu près n'importe quoi.

Sinon, Enfield India a repris le droit d'appeler ses motos "Royal enfield" depuis quelques années...

Depuis 1995 seulement:

Il semble que Watsonian Sidecars sont les importeurs actuels des Royal Enfield Bullet.

The bike looks like a Panther. Unusual to see a right-side-mounted side car.

Unusual to see a sidecar at all these days ... but in countries where they drive on the right that's where they mounted them :)

Si c'est une Panther side à droite, alors c'est peut-être celle perso de Guido Bettiol (Panther 600 Sloper). Elle était attelée à un Watsonian, si ma mémoire ne défaille point...

Nimbus II, later "long-fork"-type- or transversion, Denmark.

As these were built from 1934 to 1960-ish (!!!) and were never changed radically (- just added-to and improved, all improvements were available for ALL years, i.e. transversion from hand- to foot-gear, valve covers, "long" fork with more travel and better brakes etc.), the year will not be identifyable (is that a real word ?).
They mostly had right-side-mounted sidecars, though this is not an original Nimbus-Sidecar - don´t know what make this is, sorry - could be one from "Bender".
The original Nimbus sidecars often had boxes or other working-duty facilities.

Our first Nimbus!

The sidecar is from Steib, as far as I know.
