Cam assembly is a dead giveaway for Hamilton Standard Hydromatic design, but whether it’s an american prop or licence-built de Havilland one, I cannot tell. The remains of reduction gear, however, will probably be recognized by some of prop anoraks over here :D.

Most likely a B-17. It’s a Wright Cyclone.
