Mystery six in line and body remains (update: 1946/47 Rover P2 engine?)

which engine ??

Mr. Andersen is sending a curious request asking you to indentify an engine and part(?) of a body of which only the firewall is showing.  We wonder is there nothing else to see or doesn't Mr. Andersen want us to see the full picture? Very strange. Anyway this hobby is full of strange corners and let's say intriguing people.  
Anyway he cannot identify the 6 cylinder engine with its slightly unusual sparkplug arrangement. 'Does anybody know what 6 cylinder engine this is?' The alloy valvecover has a brass plate saying in English that the tappet clearance should be 010". The engine itself is numbered #7410494 or 74/0494. Mr. Andersen is also keeping the remainders of a body (connected with this engine) with the number ST 543. It's not sure if engine and shown firewall are from the one and same car. Any ideas? Or opinions for what it's worth...

UPDATE: here finally some photos from the outer looks of the car (click here)
