1930s AM prop drive generator ID help please

Hi all, can anyone positively ID this AM generator? It looks 30s possibly the type fitted to a Bulldog etc but any gen welcome- also the prop looks a bit suss (as it is flat and wouldn’t work as a prop!) so I suspect it’s a later addition for display. Many thanks

It’s a 12-14 Volt, 500 Watt, Generator Mk.IIIA.  A fairly universal bit of kit of the 1920s usually associated with radio installations.

I don’t have a listing for the Bulldog so I couldn’t comment on them but I’ve found the Generator listed for the Bristol F2b Mk.III and the Siskin IIIA.

Not found on everything though as the Grebe and Gamecock used a different generator.

Sure enough, the windmill does look more than a little suspect.
