A Victorian Engine Mystery (upd. stationary engine or early Benz maybe?)

Ron Mellowship has asked our help in identifying this engine. There are no identifying numbers, stamps or names anywhere. We understand it does have an atmospheric inlet valve, but as you can see rod (& piston?) are missing. Ron did take some measures, so that might help. They are: bore -120mm; stroke - 150mm; flywheel diameter - 520mm and the flywheel width is 41mm. Please study the photos and give us your opinion.

This brought back many memories,when I was
an apprentice printer 65 yrs ago, the firm
had an almost identical gas/oil engine to
drive the various shafts and belts to power
the machinery. What used to fascinate me it
would run on town gas OR paraffin !!!!.
I seem to remember that it was a b****r to
start particularly on a cold morning.!!!!!

That paint looks fresh, would the owner happen to know what the motor was pulled from? I am trying to visualize where the cross members were run to support the moror, but can not come up with anything. Neat find!

We have the original piston and con rod complete with rings.

also i know it is a automobile engine because of the long crankshaft to take a belt driven gearbox, the same as our bergmann orient express
