Hi Richard
Yes the Petter in the photos is the same as mine. It is missing a couple of the engine shrouds but that better shows the engine. Mine will be pretty well covered up. Mine also has a wodden tool box on the top. The one in the photo may be wooden and just has a metal top. I rather like the metal top. I sure would like to know what went in that box. It has quite a few brackets for holding things. I have had the box reproduced by a friend of mine. He is an old world Dutch carpenter. He even exactly duplicated the home made dovetails on the original. It looks so good I don't think I will paint that part green.
As for the generator I have no information. Only what I was told by the guy I got it from who was at the camp. They did many strange things out in Lake Ontario so it could have been there for powering some kind of raft and when that part was finished they gave it alternate duties. What you say about the generators usually being one unit also holds true. It was stored in the same room as Hydra but it sure doesn't have enough power to supply anything in there I would say. I will try to get hold of the chap I got it from. He was very closed mouthed about the camp as was everyone who was involved. Many will take their official secrets to the grave.
Merry Christmas from Canada
Barry
