Help please, Halifax V ignition harness i.d.

Hi can anyone help with what i am told is a Halifax V ignition harness relic,i cannot seem to find this style harness on the net, as it appears to have 10 spark plug leads rather than the normal 6.(i.e. Merlin engine)
Can anyone identify?

Any help as always would be appreciated.

I count 12 of the HT cables. This is from a Rolls Royce Merlin. What you have there is an “A” side magneto harness as fitted to the starboard side magneto. The “A” side magneto served the spark plugs on the inlet sides of the cylinders.
