Yes, i agree, it looks very Austin to me. I have an idea the earlier 726/780 used Austin petrol engines.............???

Via google, i just found reference to the early 585 headers using a 50hp Austin engine, then later changing to a Chrysler engine of 60hp.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Lang I will go for Austin four litre, used from about 1948 until, with upgrades, to the 1970's. It was used in Morris Commercials after the forced merger, replacing the Morris four litre and also, of course, on BMC, BLMC, Leyland and whatever other brands the conglomerate used.
I think the pictures you show are those from an engine on a header for sale on Gumtree or eBay, or somewhere I have seen recently.
I would give it a home as a spare, if it was a lot closer to me.

I’d say definitely Austin didn’t know that the 585’s used them but the 726/780’s did

Be it firearms or V8 engines, the question is not "why should you have them?"
, but "who are you to demand that I justify them?"

I'd suggest that it's been retro fitted?I’d say definitely Austin didn’t know that the 585’s used them but the 726/780’s did

John.K. I've got one in my 1960 long-bonnetted MORRIS truck It was standard equipment. See my earlier reply. It would also fit my 1952 MORRIS Fire Engine but that has the 6 cylinder four Litre Morris engine.
