The 'Stationary' Engine Mystery

The pictures of this engine were sent to us by Clive Randall. He tells us that it originally came from New Zealand where it had been driving a water pump from an ancient mine. The engine, which is still in good working order, has clearly been modified for stationary use as the flywheel, carburettor and manifolds are adapted, but what engine it is and how old, remains a complete mystery. It has automatic inlet valves, characteristic 4 stud securing of the water manifold on the top. Bore size is 105mm and the stroke approximately 124mm. Who can help identify it?

That is interesting. I have a horrible feeling that is as much as we will ever find out about this engine!

thanks
