Mally..
I had a KB 2 International..1941 ..that I restored and it had a pre war Green Diamond 6 cylinder engine built by Rolls Royce..which was pre war..after WW2 International started building their own engines and installing them in their trucks.. so it may have been the Rolls Royce pre war version that they were copying..Interesting..looks similiar to the Dodge flat head 6..
