Aux engine Chieftain tank

Does anyone have info on this type of engine, 3 cyl,CAV fuel pump , roots type blower on bottom, starter top left , two hyd pumps at back and a 24 volt generator at back.Looks like a dry sump.Haven't checked all data plates,needs steaming, I could be wrong even if it is out of a Chieftain.
Definite English all the way, it's a head scratcher.
Thanks Kirk

Kirk,

Coventry Climax H30, from memory built to the same design as the L60 main engine, hence the blower, because it a two stroke. Made especailly for Cheiftain aux gen.
