This probably won't help much, but my '53 engine has a data plate stating
built by REO Division of the White Motor Co.

I know it is/was common to swap engines out even tho only depot level (?)
was supposed to do that... I wonder if new Deuces in the 50' and 60's ever
came with an engine from a 'sister' company when they ran short?
