1930s Black Hills photos - help identifying bike and year

Hello - I am looking for some help further identifying a motorcycle in the photographs below. The photos are labeled Black Hills hunting trip with motorcycle 1930s but my goal is to try to get a little closer to the exact year and also to determine the type/brand of the bike. The logos on the sidecar nose and the side of the motorcycle appear to be the same, but neither seem to be Harley Davidson or Indian of the time period. The bike does have a Minnesota license plate that might be 1939 but hard to tell with no color photography. It's a long shot but it would be very cool if these were in any way pictures related to an early Sturgis rally. I'd love thoughts from folks that really know this stuff because I am a little out of my depth.
