I would lean to an Industrial Engine that came over on some piece of equipment. I have my doubts that it came from a car being in a Belgium produced engine it it would have been in a Belgian produced vehicle and would have not qualified for the Commonweath Import Tariff exemptions.
That was the only reason we got a flood of those less than suitable (for Canadian conditions) Brit made vehicles here in the 50's 60's and early 70's.
For the most part they were never designed for use in the likes of Canada and it showed.
