Thanks for contribs. While a sensible range for a m/c it feels agricultural from its weight and build so at this point it looks like tractor/'dozer/dumper. I have dipped a toe in a tractor forum to see what comes up. I have a feeling it suffered an internal malady in the past, as the 3 bezel holes aren't lined up with the casing holes. The brass would have had to have been peened back over the casing following the repair, and I am not tempted to interfere as any attempt to re-align would surely result in embrittlement and break-up.
