Pete,
This is a British issue Switchboard for a Charging Set. The engine / generator part is normally in a tubular frame with wooden carrying handles slid through, This board is connected to the dynamo by a long screened lead. They are for charging banks of batteries. Not really vehicle mounted equipment. I have a larger Charging Set, a 1260 watt No.3, which is powered by a Petter single cyl. engine, the switchboard is practically the same cabinet and appearance.
The 550 watt sets were powered predominantly by Norman, JAP or Villiers engines.
