I know that one. It's the engine at the top of the incline near
Wrysgan.

6 pot one looks to be OHV, which would prompt me to think
something like Thornycroft if I am aiming at the right era?
Certainly looks an old design, with a very simple gearbox behind
(is that the clutch pedal still attached?)
4 pot I would guess at an Morris Commercial or similar ilk,
looking at the chassis design too. Possibly something a bit
bigger though. Albion?
Not a clue though in reality! :(

Dunno but the 4-pot was cast by the same company that cast Land
Rover cylinder heads. Qualcast.
