I think you will find that this engine is quite a hybrid, like the Spitfire it was fitted to. IIRC, it has a Merlin III bottom end, possibly a Merlin 102 supercharger and wheel case, later type two piece cylinder banks, and by the looks of it, possibly no crankshaft. Ignore the BS story on the presentation plate.
Caveat emptor….

I know that engine! More recently installed in a rather hybrid Spitfire LZ844, which I had a close inspection of at Kemble in 2011, and has been the subject of a previous thread here:
