Cylinder head and gearboxes ID please

I was wondering whether anyone can tell me what these are from.

Item 1, Cylinder head, looks like it's machined for a sideplate which extends over the block but it's not Chevrolet.

Part or casting number looks to be C20882

Looking at the colour I'd guess maybe Morris Comical sorry, Commercial.

Yes looks like a Morris Commercial gearbox .... I'd say from the LC model . Many of the Morris castings have the logo 'MOWOG' cast on them . MIKE

It certainly has the Morris colour, will have a closer look when I collect it, then work out who would want it! At least it's not going to be scrapped... yet.

A mechanic who worked with me related about buying a quantity of brand new " chev " engines from WW2 disposals. It turned out that they were toyota. A copy but not near enough ! !
A check on the threads may be a clue to it's origion.
