Given this truck is a ‘46 and possibly / likely produced in the months just after WW2 ended, and civilian vehicle production restarted it seems possible the engine was manufactured just before the war started. Many of the 1946 production models used a variety of pre-war parts. My ‘46 was made in June that year with some of those parts.
