The T-Head Identification Mystery

Chris Martin writes: “I am a member of the Australian Motorlife Museum at Kembla Grange NSW, and we have a mystery motor on display that came with a large private collection of cars and parts, but the problem is, nobody can identify it. It is a four cylinder engine with cylinders cast in two pairs and the only identifying marks are a stylized S cast in the front cover just above the front pulley, and on top near the spark plug holes, and the cast numbers 2093 and 2553. I have not had a chance to examine the nut and bolt threads which may offer a clue to its country of origin, but it looks a bit smaller than the usual larger capacity American suspects although I could be wrong. I know the Stutz used a large Wisconsin motor, and it does not match any Studebaker I could find either. I contacted an early Sunbeam expert, as they briefly made a T-Head four in 1910, but it doesn't match anything there. Of course the S. could be a red herring. Any ideas or clues would be much appreciated.”
