It is basically a 1937 engine built in England through the war. It is set up for full flow oiling, maybe for the oil cooler in a Bren carrier. Numbers in the 18-### are from USA 221 number series, but will be higher than the USA numbers in Van Pelt's list becaus made years after 1942.
This engine (without full flow) was used for civilian stuff before and after the war, used in many carriers, trucks, and cars during. All the British built stuff used this engine, I think, but England also used lots of Canadian 221 and 239 24 stud engines in the many vehicles they imported during the war.
