Maybe not.

The TLS was fitted in forks with 6 1/2 inch (Triumph) and 6 3/4 inch fork centres (BSA and later Triumph).

I dont think C15 forks are wide enough to take it.

If you really want a better brake (And who could blame you?) You could fit a set of B40 heavyweight forks (I suspect you'd need the wheel as well) to which you can fit the 7" tlr  brake. RR says it may need some material removing to clear the fork leg, but mine goes straight in.
Most people would be pushed to tell the difference in the forks.
